You may be asking yourself what is the difference between thermal transfer labels and direct thermal labels?<\/p>\n
The type of labels that you require will depend on the type of printer you are using. Thermal transfer labels require your printer to be fitted with a ribbon and it is the ink from this ribbon which is transferred using heat from the printhead to create dark or vibrant print with a long lasting finish. Various label and ribbon combinations can be used to give you the best results for your products. Direct thermal labels do not use a ribbon. Instead the label surface is coated with a heat reactive layer which turns black when in contact with the heat from the printhead.<\/p>\n
