Thermal Transfer label printing method utilizes inks, toners, and a thermal transfer ribbon to print. Unlike direct thermal, this method does not require a specific kind of label material. Instead, the thermal transfer method is suitable for printing on a variety of label materials, including paper, polypropylene, polyester, etc.
In thermal transfer printing, the thermal print head applies heat to the ribbon to melt ink and resins onto the label’s surface. The thermal transfer ribbon results in a higher initial cost than direct thermal printing. However, since the thermal transfer ribbon melts onto the label to print, this method creates a longer lasting, more durable print image that can withstand temperature extremes, light exposure, and more. Finally, the thermal transfer ribbon yields precise print images with clear edges—great for barcodes!
