The difference between printing direct thermal and thermal transfer Label
AND direct thermal labels, thermal transfer
label printers generally print labels such as bar codes using the technology of heat transfer or thermal Direct. The common feature of both these methods is that heat is involved in the printing process. Thermal transfer printing uses ribbon heated to print the material, while in direct thermal printing there is no tape involved, and the printing is done directly on labels.
label printers that use direct thermal printing is low cost and easy maintenance, because it has no ink, toner and ribbon. Its application can be seen in the notes, shipping labels, receipts, bracelet, etc. on. The downside of this type of label printer is that it can only print on certain materials and labels are not sustainable.
The life of labels can stretch for up to one year and if moisture is present or exposure to sunlight will fade the label off even faster. It is not considered a major disadvantage for label printers that use direct thermal printing because the labels are printed by such printers are not intended for lifetime identification or use. An obvious example of this would be received, that customers usually throw away the receipt when they reach home.
As for the label printers that use the transfer approach thermal printing the fact that heated material is used is to ensure the labels may endure for a long period of time. It is essential that these labels printed label printers such as bar codes, the circuit board monitoring, the ongoing identification, track records of the sample and marking assets. This printer is high maintenance because it requires parts that wear out.
The choice is in the hands of the user to decide what type of printing process that suits their needs better than anyone has its advantages and disadvantages.
