National Barcode Zebra TLP 2844 Review

You'll find more TLP2844 printers in use today than any other thermal label printer. Its compact design is easy to use and with a 4 inch print width, it can be use to create a wide range of shipping, asset, and product labels. One of the big selling point to this printer is the extensive label selection Zebra has available for it. Almost any size or style you will need is available as a stock item to help keep costs down. The Cognitive DLXi may have similar specs and size, but the TLP2844's simple loading mechanism and wide media selection make it a better overall buy. Being a desktop model, the TLP2844 is made for lighter print volumes. For industrial applications you would look to its bigger brother, the Zebra ZM400. Any business that needs an easy to use, flexible, and reliable label printer can't go wrong with the Zebra TLP2844.
