Datamax H-4408 Industrial label printer DT/TT, 400dpi, 8in/s, 4in, Ethernet

The Datamax H-4408 is an industrial-class label printer designed for continuous, high-volume labeling across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, retail and OEM environments. Combining thermal transfer and direct thermal technologies, the H-4408 delivers professional-grade labels with high resolution and consistent throughput for barcodes, text and graphics. Configurations support rugged metal enclosures, flexible media handling and a choice of connectivity options to integrate into existing production and IT systems. With on-board memory for complex formats and optional workflow accessories such as peelers, cutters and rewinders — plus optional RFID capability on select configurations — the H-4408 is built to maximize uptime, accuracy and operational efficiency in demanding applications.

Key Features

• High-resolution output: 400–406 dpi options produce sharp barcodes, crisp text and detailed graphics for compliance and traceability.
• Dual print technology: Supports both thermal transfer and direct thermal modes to suit durable or short-life label requirements.
• Industrial throughput: Fast, continuous operation with speeds up to 8 ips (approx. 203 mm/s) to sustain high-volume workflows.
• Flexible connectivity: Standard Serial, USB, Ethernet and Parallel ports, with optional Wi‑Fi, USB Host, GPIO and SDIO for varied deployment needs.
• Expandable workflow options: Available peel-off dispensers, cutters, internal rewinders and liner take-up improve downstream handling and automation.
• Built for durability: Metal cabinet designs and robust media handling accept large rolls and support continuous duty in production environments.
