Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer?
Direct thermal
Prints on heat-sensitive labels without a ribbon. Simple and low running cost; best for shipping labels, receipts and short-life labels.
Thermal transfer
Uses a ribbon to transfer ink to the label. More durable, long-life prints for product, asset and stock labels.
