Benefits of Thermal Transfer Printing

Thermal label printers are mainly used for barcode printing because they produce accurate, high quality images with excellent edge definition. These are specially designed to print within tight tolerances and to produce the exact bar width that a successful barcode printing and scanning require. Thermal Transfer printers can accept a wider variety of media than direct thermal models, including paper, polyester and polypropylene materials. Thermal Transfer printing is used to create asset tags, certification labels, common labels and archival quality labels to with stand temperature extremes, sterilization and more.

It is a digital printing process in which material is applied to paper by melting a coating on ribbon. In this process, a thermal print head applies heat to ribbon, which melts ink on to the material to form heat while in direct thermal printing no ribbon is used, which creates the image directly on the printed material.
