You may be asking yourself what is the difference between thermal transfer labels and direct thermal labels?
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.
