Zebra Barcode Ribbon Transition

Zebra has been working on improvements to their printers for some time now and just launched their G series barcode ribbon to work in the new GK and GX series desktop printers. The new robust single ribbon strategy allows their ribbon to be used in all of their 4 inch zebra desktop printers. This change reduces the customers confusion when ordering and also helps with inventory management. The new G-series Zebra ribbons are compatible with the new GK and GX-Series printers as well as the 2844, 2824, 38XX and R402 printers along with the older legacy Zebra desktop printers.


Zebra has begun eliminating the 28XX/38XX and universal ribbons, excluding the 5100 series, for 4 inch desktop printers. The 51 series universal ribbon will still be available but only as a made to order item.
