Zebra 105S Printhead
Posted by Dana Ritchie on December 17th, 2007
Zebra has discontinued the 105S line of printers, which is not new. What is new is that they are not supplying the printheads to these printers anymore. We are now supplying a full line of printheads, including ones for the Zebra 105S. If your printer needs a new printhead, don’t discard the printer, replace the printhead.
Zebra Technologies Big Printhead Mistake!
Posted by Dana Ritchie on December 10th, 2007
I have just learned that Zebra Technologies is going to move forward on a new line of printers that uses a special printhead with a computer chip to determine how much media has been run through their printers. On the surface, it sounds like a great idea. This means that instead of the  standard 6 month warranty, whether you used the printer or not, it will now become 1 million linier inches. This sounds good, but after a closer look what is not good is that the end user will have to purchase the printheads from Zebra. Today for most Zebra printers you have a choice to purchase an OEM or OEM compatible printhead at substantial savings. We sell a line of OEM compatible printheads for all thermal transfer printers and like to give our customers a choice. We have a free report on OEM compatible printheads. My personal opinion is that the industry is not going to go for this once the customer finds out.
