Zebra Printhead ZE500, 12 dots/mm (300dpi)

Zebra ZE500-4 Printhead – 300 dpi Spare Part

The printhead is one of the highest-wear components in any label printer. When print quality starts to fade into streaks or barcodes stop scanning reliably, the printhead is almost always the cause. This genuine Zebra spare part restores your ZE500-4 to factory performance — no compromises.

Compatible Models

This printhead is designed for the Zebra ZE500-4 series of industrial label printers. It fits both mechanical variants:

• ·RH (Right-Hand feed)
• ·LH (Left-Hand feed)

Before ordering, confirm which feed direction your unit uses — you'll find this on the printer's nameplate or in the user manual.

Print Resolution and Quality

At 300 dpi (12 dots/mm), barcodes, QR codes, and small text reproduce sharply even on compact label sizes. This matters most when your labels carry GS1-standard barcodes or precise markings required for medical or regulated applications.

Why a Genuine Spare Part

A genuine Zebra printhead is calibrated to work with the ZE500-4's electronics from day one. Third-party alternatives may function initially, but print quality and printer lifespan tend to suffer over time. With the original part you get:

• ·Reliability backed by the manufacturer's warranty
• ·Full compatibility with the printer's controller board
• ·Even heat distribution that protects both the ribbon and the printhead from premature wear

Installation

Replacing the printhead on a ZE500-4 is a task suited to a technically confident user or a service technician. Zebra provides installation instructions in the printer's documentation. If you need a hand, get in touch with Vaivatta — we're happy to help.
