    Thermal Printing: On-demand printing at its finest

    There are great benefits to using Thermal Printing to print your own labels. It’s economical, easy, and can benefit you when you are in a hurry.

    Direct Thermal Label Printing
    Quick and Easy, on-demand printing. Ideal for applications where label life will be less than 1 year. Used commonly by Food and Deli, Medical, Shipping and Office or Warehouse industries.
    Thermal Transfer Label Printing
    On-demand printing with a greater choice of materials. Ideal for applications where greater label durability is required. Perfect for High Density bar codes, Abrasion and Chemical resistance, and for printing your own pre-printed logo labels.
    Thermal Transfer Ribbons
    Thermal print your own labels, when you need them, with Thermal Transfer Ribbons. We carry ribbon ranging from economical Resin Enhanced Wax, to Mid-Range Ribbons and even full Resin, for the ultimate in abrasion and chemical resistance.
    Thermal Transfer Printing vs. Direct Thermal Printing
    Curious about the differences between Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer? Wondering which is the best option for you?

    Direct Thermal

    A direct thermal printer uses its printhead to heat special, chemically treated, label stock. The print is created when parts of the label stock darken in response to the heat. Direct thermal printing is an inexpensive way to print labels that are for temporary use. For labels that need to last longer than 6 months, a thermal transfer printer will work better.

    Advantages Disadvantages
    • does not require ink or ribbon
    • less expensive printer
    • labels yellow or fade over time
    • labels susceptible to damage by water, strong sunlight, or other harsh conditions
    • printhead may wear out faster due friction of direct contact with printed material
    • not capable of printing fine barcodes, small text, or high quality images
    • can only print black on white

    Thermal Transfer

    Thermal transfer printers use heat to bond a thin film of wax or resin coating onto a label. These printers can also print direct thermal labels but the printhead may wear out faster.

    Advantages Disadvantages
    • highest quality print
    • long lasting labels
    • large selection of label stocks including labels resistant to many harsh conditions (heat, sunlight, water, acids)
    • many different color ribbons and labels stocks available
    • requires ribbon
    • slightly more expensive printer
