- Full Description
-
Direct thermal labels offer high-quality barcode printing for numerous applications. What makes direct thermal labels different than thermal transfer is the fact that they do not require a ribbon to image the label. Instead, the imaging is created by using heat from the printhead to begin the chemical reaction on the label material itself.
Below there are listed several advantages of direct thermal labels
• No ribbon is required;
• Less downtime for ribbon changes;
• A low cost option for limited life applications such as shipping labels.
However there are also some potential disadvantages
• Image becomes difficult to read or scan over time;
• Material darkens in direct sunlight;
• Images only in black;
• It can scuff and smudge.
