Greetings,
 
If you are new to the Zebra Manufacturing Advisory Council, welcome! You have been selected to join this prestigious group of peers, and we look forward to working and strategizing with you in 2016. Towards the end of every quarter, you will receive an update such as this to keep you informed of happenings in Zebra's business.
 
For current members who were able to attend the Manufacturing Advisory Council webinar on Wednesday, May 25th—thank you! Our first virtual meeting proved to be a success, and we plan to continue this practice moving forward. If you were unable to attend, don't worry—you can access the presentation and a link to the recording below. Please contact your Zebra rep should you have any issues accessing these materials.
 
Our next Advisory Council event (September 14 - 16), where we all meet in person, is fast approaching. We have several exciting things planned, such as a full day working session inside Wrigley Field. Additionally, with the goal of creating a group facilitated exercise, we'll give you the opportunity to collaborate with one of our Zebra thought leaders on a topic of your choice. This is YOUR meeting, though, and we want to make sure you get the most out of it. Please take a few minutes to complete the below questionnaire so we can tailor September's meeting to your interests.
 
If you have not done so already, please register for the event in September.

Ribbon Loading Made Easy
 
A very innovative Zebra thermal transfer printer was introduced earlier this year… the ZD420 is the easiest thermal transfer printer to load on the market, period. The simplicity of the ZD420's ribbon cartridge takes the time and trouble out of replacing your printer ribbon. Regardless of experience level, your workers can replace the ribbon and get back to work in seconds — with significantly fewer support calls to IT. This printer can be used where longer lasting, more durable labels need to be produced to withstand tough environments. Manufacturing applications include product compliance and identification labels, asset tags, warehouse labeling, and others. Want proof? Click on the video to the right that compares the ease of loading the ZD420 ribbon vs. a competitor's product.
