Everything You Wanted To Know About Thermal Transfer and Direct Transfer Labels Printers


Thermal printers are utilized to produce bar codes, price tags, and other labels. The thermal transfer method of label printing requires the use of heat for processing and printing on paper. The printhead of the thermal printer has a wide variety of resistive heating pins that inject ink into contact material.

The two types of thermal printing are direct thermal and thermal transfer. The method of thermal transfer printing utilizes a heated ribbon to print images on many different materials. Conversely, indirect thermal printing, no ribbon is used, and the image is printed right on the label material.

Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive and chemically treated media. That media blackens in color when pressed under a print head, and there is no ink or toner involved. This means direct thermal printing is mostly more affordable and portable. The drawback to a direct thermal label is the possibility of fading over time, which is not ideal for a lifetime product. It is an effective process for receipts, shipping labels, and tickets, however.

Thermal transfer printing utilizes a thermal printhead pressed onto a ribbon, which then melts ink into the label material. Then, the ink absorbs into the label material and is set permanently. So, the thermal transfer printing process and the resulting labels have more longevity and durability.

For thermal label printing, heat is applied to the ribbon, which melts the ink on the material to form the image. The ink becomes so absorbed that the image appears part of the media. This method offers image quality and durability that is not matched by many on-demand printing systems. Such a form of label is useful for product recognition, circuit board tagging, asset labeling, inventory identification, and certifications such as UL / CSA.
