Zebra ZT230 printers are both direct thermal and thermal transfer - so can use both types of labels, all of which are supplied on 76mm cores. If you are using thermal transfer labels, then you need to use a thermal transfer ribbon to produce the image - we sell Zebra thermal transfer ribbons for the ZT230 printers here. The Zebra ZT230 printer has a maximum label width of 104mm - please be sure to select the correct labels for your printer. The ZT230 differs from the ZT220 in that it has a metal case and comes with a front panel LCD menu for easy operator setup.
