Zebra ZT411 RFID 4-inch Industrial Label Printer — On-Metal
Industrial 203 dpi thermal transfer printer and UHF RFID encoder with Zebra’s on-metal tagging technology — print and encode RFID labels for metal containers and assets.
UHF RFID On-Metal203 dpi14 ips / 356 mm/sEthernet + Bluetooth
The Zebra ZT411 RFID (part number ZT41142-T5E00C0Z) is a 4-inch industrial label printer and UHF RFID encoder that prints at 203 dpi in thermal transfer and direct thermal modes, while encoding passive UHF RFID labels — including Zebra’s on-metal media for tagging metal assets and containers. Built for manufacturing, warehouse and asset-tracking operations, it connects over 10/100 Ethernet, USB, RS-232 serial and Bluetooth, and ships in the Rest-of-World configuration with Euro and UK power cords. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Good to know before you buy
This ZT41142-T5E00C0Z is the RFID on-metal configuration: it both prints and encodes UHF RFID labels, and supports Zebra’s on-metal (Silverline) RFID media for tagging metal surfaces where standard RFID labels fail. It is a Rest-of-World (ROW) model with Euro/UK cords and is not certified for North America. Connectivity is wired and Bluetooth (no built-in Wi-Fi). Thermal transfer mode requires a compatible ribbon; direct thermal prints ribbon-free.

Key Features
On-metal UHF RFID encoding
Prints and encodes passive UHF RFID labels, including Zebra’s exclusive on-metal media, so you can reliably tag metal containers and assets where ordinary RFID labels would not read.
Industrial 203 dpi printing
At 8 dots per millimetre and up to 356 mm/s the ZT411 produces clean, scannable standard barcodes and text while keeping high-volume lines moving.
Rugged, easy to operate
A metal frame and bi-fold door handle demanding environments, while the 4.3-inch color touchscreen and side-loading media path make setup and supply changes fast.
Print DNA and Link-OS
Zebra’s Print DNA suite, powered by Link-OS, gives IT remote management, security and easy integration of the printer and its RFID workflows across the fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is on-metal RFID and why does it matter?
Standard UHF RFID labels detune and fail to read when placed directly on metal. On-metal RFID media (such as Zebra Silverline) is engineered to work on metal surfaces, so this printer lets you reliably tag and track metal containers, machinery and assets.
Can it print normal barcode labels too?
Yes. As well as encoding RFID, the ZT411 prints standard thermal transfer and direct thermal labels at 203 dpi, so you can run both RFID and conventional barcode jobs on one printer.
Does this RFID model have Wi-Fi?
No. The ZT41142-T5E00C0Z connects over 10/100 Ethernet, USB, RS-232 serial and Bluetooth. A dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi card is available as a separate field-installable option.
Is this printer suitable for use in Cyprus and Europe?
Yes. This is the Rest-of-World (ROW) configuration with Euro and UK power cords and the correct regional RFID setup. It is not certified for use in North America.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose this on-metal RFID model when you need to tag metal assets, racks, machinery or returnable metal containers — the on-metal capability is the reason to pick it over a standard ZT411 RFID printer, which struggles on metal surfaces. If your tags never go on metal, a standard ZT411 RFID configuration costs less. For small or dense labels needing finer detail, consider the 300 dpi version, and if you do not need RFID at all, the non-RFID ZT411 is the economical choice.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need to print and encode UHF RFID labels, including on-metal tags for metal assets and containers, on a rugged 203 dpi industrial printer with wired and Bluetooth connectivity.
Skip it if
You do not need RFID (a non-RFID ZT411 costs less), never tag metal surfaces (a standard RFID model suffices), or require built-in Wi-Fi or 300 dpi detail.
Also consider
A standard ZT411 RFID printer for non-metal tagging, the 300 dpi version for dense small labels, or the non-RFID ZT411 if RFID is not required.
