Many of our merchants also opt for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dymo.com\/en-US\/labelwriter-4xl-label-printer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dymo LabelWriter 4XL<\/a> for the same reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the one big downside to thermal printers like the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.shippingeasy.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4407011594011-DYMO-Zebra-Rollo-Printers-Troubleshoot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zebra<\/a> is the price tag \u2013 a new one usually costs around $350-$450. A good thermal printer is worth the investment, but the price tag can be daunting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the investment in a new thermal printer might be tempting, there\u2019s an abundance of perfectly functioning refurbished units all over the web. You can get a fully functional Zebra label printer refurbished online for anywhere from $100-$250, which saves you as much as $350 on your purchase. There\u2019s obviously a risk with purchasing a refurbished unit, but there are usually warranties included with your order in addition to third-party warranties to keep your purchase safe for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketplaces like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=G4ZAA22U35N373NX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.ebay.com\/refurbishedprogramwarranty\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eBay<\/a> sell refurbished Zebras for around $150-$250 instead of the regular retail price. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.shippingeasy.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4404425873563-Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.shippingeasy.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4405325025179-eBay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eBay<\/a> also both offer warranties for these products, so you have some wiggle room if there are any issues.
