Ok you got me. Seems that fast sometimes. 4"/s is fine for me.. takes me at least a few minutes to fill the order anyway.

Hmm. Are those 3rd party drivers? I've used both stock and 3rd party but had to go stock to get pure black / no dithering but neither had 4"/s

DHL has a commercial thermal printer zebra zp550 any ideas if it's any good? Not a lot of info about it online. Lot more info for fedex's zp500.

I'm 90% sure I had to use custom drivers through stamps.com in order to get their labels to print properly when I started using the Zebra years ago.

This is the driver they link to in the article. Says zebra732 but I guess it's cross compatible. I've never had an issue with dithering unless trying to print images on labels.

Aren't courier specific thermal printers limited to printing one couriers label? When I was shopping for my thermal printer I was told to avoid the Fedex version of the 2844z since it only works with Fedex's software.

Hmm okay, the zp550 I'm reading takes gk 420t drivers. No way to really confirm without buying one.

I think that's true cause there's a pretty ugly yellow zp550 printer then some other darker ones.

My ZP500 Plus is SO Fedex, that I had to go to their site to get the software/driver for it lol

Works just fine, though, for anything I've done so far.
