What's the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printer?

OCOM original 2025-05-30 17:03:26

 Do you know the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printers? Let's chat!

Direct Thermal Printers use thermal paper—no ribbon needed! But labels fade over time, making them ideal for short-term use like shipping labels.

Thermal Transfer Printers use a ribbon to create durable, heat, and chemical-resistant labels—perfect for long-term labeling.

Now, introduce our thermal transfer printer new model OCBP-T4202.

1. Supports both direct thermal & thermal transfer, up to 110mm wide labels.

2. 152mm/sec speed, 50km print head life, with 203/300dpi resolution.

3. Works with Win/Mac/iOS/Android and supports TSPL/ESC/POS commands.
