Zebra / Eltron Eltron Legacy Desktop — Compatible Labels & Ribbons
The Eltron-heritage LP and TLP desktop printers — best known for the LP2844 — were the original desktop shipping label printers, and thousands are still in daily service. They run 1-inch-core direct thermal rolls (TLP models also take thermal transfer ribbon), and standard 4x6 direct thermal shipping labels remain the most common media for them.
