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.
