XD5-40 or XD3-40?
The XD3-40 is the simpler 4-inch model: 203 dpi only, no display and wired connections only. Choose the XD5-40 when you need 300 dpi, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, an LCD or RFID encoding. The XD5-40II is the second generation with the same part-number logic.
All XD5-40 printers below are CE certified and covered by manufacturer warranty. Thermal transfer (t) models need a ribbon matched to the label material — see our ribbons and labels.
