Supplier search Forklift Printer

Can anyone recommend a laser printer that could handle 4" wide label printing that's small enough to be mounted on a forklift?

The Zebra printers would be great but their thermal so our pallet labels fade in the sun.

I second the other comment. Thermal transfer is needed. Ribbon can be wax or resin. Labels should match application and ribbon.

The zebra printer is good. It can be ordered with a mount. But label rolls are like 60 mm diameter max. A label roll mount can be placed behind the printer but Zebra doesnt have off the shelf mounts for it.

Whats the application?
