Zebra printer repair from Zebra Technologies?

Many of our customers have been asking us about Zebra Technologies and the company’s background in the manufacture of thermal printers, as well as their support capabilities including Zebra printer repair.

Zebra Technologies Corporation is a publicly listed company and the manufacturer of Zebra printers. It was incorporated in 1969, and their headquarters is located in Chicago, IL. Zebra is worldwide with sales representation in over 100 countries.

In 1998, Zebra merged with Camarillo, which manufactured the Eltron brand of thermal printer. In 2000, Zebra purchased Comtec Information Systems, a leader in mobile printing solutions. In 2007 and 2008, Zebra acquired three companies – WhereNet, Navis Holdings, and Multispectral Solutions, Inc. – allowing Zebra to greatly expand into the RFID market for label printing.

Zebra manufactures and sells thermal printers that print information on-demand at the point of issuance. Zebra printers are used worldwide in various industries including manufacturers, service, healthcare, finance, and government for both label and barcode printing. Additionally, Zebra printers are used in many mobile printing applications in which the user carries or clips to their belts, a portable battery operated Zebra printer.

Zebra printers are well supported. Zebra printer service and Zebra printer repair is handled by a vast network of companies worldwide such as the MIDCOM Service Group. There are several companies that offer Zebra printer repair on a local and national basis. When selecting a Zebra printer repair company, be sure to work with a company that has a track record of repairing and servicing Zebra printers. Many people believe that their laser printer technicians can fix thermal printers. This is typically not the case. Zebra thermal barcode and label printers are a totally different technology than laser printers. It takes a totally trained technician on thermal printer technology to understand how to perform Zebra printer repair and Zebra printer service quickly and efficiently.

With any more questions you can always call MIDCOM at (800) 643-2664 or chat us up on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn!
