4-Inch Paper — Product Details & Printer Coverage
The three 4-inch e-citation rolls cover different printer families and use cases. Here's what separates them.
Zebra Compatible Heavyweight Thermal Paper
4" × 80' · 80 gsm · 36 per caseThicker than standard thermal paper, the heavyweight 80-gram stock holds up to rain, heat, and the daily wear of patrol use. It's the most popular choice for departments issuing parking tickets and roadside citations — prints stay sharp on the windshield for longer.
- BPA Free
- 5-yr Archivability
- End-of-roll Stripe
- Made in USA
- 3/4" Core
Compatible Printers
- Zebra: P4T, QL320, 4SE, QL420, QL420 Plus, RW420, ZQ500, ZQ520, ZQ630
- Brother: Ruggedjet 4030, 4040
Zebra ZQ521 Compatible Standard Weight Thermal Paper
4" × 80' · 55 gsm · 36 per caseBuilt for the Zebra ZQ521, which requires the lighter 55-gram roll. Also works in older Zebra mobile printers — a good fit when a department is standardizing on the ZQ521 but doesn't need the added durability of heavyweight stock.
- BPA Free
- 5-yr Archivability
- End-of-roll Stripe
- Made in USA
- 3/4" Core
Compatible Printers
- Zebra: ZQ521 (primary), ZQ520, ZQ630, RW420, QL420, QL420 Plus
Brother Ruggedjet Compatible Thermal
4" × 120' · 55 gsm · 36 per caseMade for Brother's Rugged-jet series. The smaller 1/2" core and extra-long 120' roll mean fewer paper changes in the field — a real benefit for officers running long shifts. Same durability and archivability as our other e-citation papers.
- BPA Free
- 5-yr Archivability
- End-of-roll Stripe
- Made in USA
- 1/2" Core
Compatible Printers
- Brother: Rugged-jet 4030, 4040, 4230, 4250, and more
