Zebra ZT411 4-Inch RFID On-Metal Tagging Solution Printer & Encoder (203/300 DPI, Up to 1.5mm Tags)

Engineered specifically to overcome the physical RF interference of metal surfaces and liquid containers, the Zebra ZT411 4-Inch RFID On-Metal Tagging Solution (203 & 300 DPI) provides a specialized industrial thermal printing and encoding platform designed to print and encode thick, high-performance on-metal RFID tags and labels effortlessly.

Traditional RFID printers cannot feed or encode thick on-metal tags due to mechanical pinch-roller limitations and RF detuning. The ZT411 RFID On-Metal Solution solves this with an engineered extended printhead gap mechanism, specialized media guide rollers, and an optimized UHF RFID antenna module calibrated for thicker on-metal tags up to 1.5 mm (0.06 in) thickness (such as Confidex Silverline, Beontag, and Omni-ID tags). Operating at 203 DPI (up to 14 ips) and 300 DPI (up to 10 ips) with a 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen, the ZT411 On-Metal solution features Adaptive RFID Encoding Technology that automatically detects tag placement, delivering reliable read/write encoding and crisp barcode printing on enterprise IT servers, metal tools, automotive chassis, and chemical containers.
