2 Printing Model: Direct thermal & thermal transfer printing

Direct Thermal Printing

Direct thermal printing uses heat to print on thermal paper, which is chemically treated to darken when exposed to heat.

A thermal printhead applies heat directly to the thermal paper to produce the image, text, or barcode.

Thermal Transfer Printing

Thermal transfer printing uses a heat-sensitive ribbon (typically wax, resin, or a combination of both) that is heated by the printhead. The heat melts the ink from the ribbon and transfers it onto the surface of the label material.

This method allows printing on a wider range of materials (such as paper, plastic, fabric, and synthetic materials) beyond just thermal paper.

Both technologies are ideal for printing barcodes, text, and images. However, understanding the differences between them will help you choose the best printer for your specific needs.

This 4-inch thermal tranfer printer supports both printing methods, giving you the flexibility to choose the optimal option based on your application requirements.
