Why you should use direct thermal or thermal transfer label printing
Direct thermal and thermal transfer printers provide better label printing solution
for on demand printing. In addition, laser printers require the use of standard
8 1/2 x 11 or A4 size sheets, when you only require one label or a label, which
is smaller than the A4 sheet size, you still must use the entire sheet. This is
booth inefficient and costly. 1.Direct and Thermal transfer printers are roll fed. This means they only print
the number of labels or tags that are required for that particular print job without
the waste of unused portions. 2.Both Direct and Thermal transfer prints are built to withstand any industrial
environment, which can prove difficult for a laser, and inkjet printers to function. 3.Direct thermal printing does not require a ribbon, or ink, has a very low operational
cost, as well as upkeep. It is an excellent print option for documents and labels
that do not require to be kept for long periods of time. In addition, it has proven
to be a successful print method for restaurant, store receipts, bar code labels,
etc. However, the life span of the direct thermal printed tag or label is short
and will fade over time or will turn black when exposed to heat or strong sunlight. 4.Thermal transfer printers do require the use of a printer ribbon. However, thermal
transfer printer's offer a flexible format, graphic capability, high quality printing,
required very little maintenance, and high density bar code capability including
the ability for infrared scanning.
