Thermal Transfer Printing

What it is/how it works:

Thermal transfer printing technology uses heat to transfer an image (text, images and barcodes) using an ink

ribbon onto a label. Heat from the print head melts the ink on the ribbon which is deposited onto the label surface to create the image.

What it’s used for (Ideal uses):  

Pros:

  • Ability to use materials that are weather / chemical resistant.
  • The drying time of the ink is very fast enabling high speed printing.
  • The price range makes high quality label printing affordable to smaller businesses.
  • Available in a rugged metal construction for warehouse environments.
  • Larger label rolls making for fewer label changes.
  • Most thermal transfer printers also have the ability to do direct thermal printing.

Cons:

  • Added consumable cost, due to ribbon requirement. More user training involved in loading the consumables.
