Thermal transfer printers and direct thermal printers are three different types of printing technologies that each work in different ways.

Thermal transfer printers use wax or resin ribbons and heat to transfer ink to the print medium. This method produces durable and robust printers, ideal for labels, barcodes and DataMatrix codes.

Direct thermal printers print directly onto especially heat-sensitive paper. The print head heats areas on the paper to create an image or text. These printers are simple and inexpensive, but less durable, which is why they are often used for receipts or shipping labels.

Industrial label printers are essential for everyday marking in production and logistics. They enable on-demand printing and offer the flexibility to customize both blank and pre-printed labels. Compact desktop printers offer these advantages in a small space and support technologies such as direct thermal and thermal transfer printing. They can be easily integrated into existing systems to adapt labeling needs flexibly and proactively to changing requirements.
