The label printer market is becoming more complex as the range of product choices expands on an almost daily basis.
Here at LabelZone we find that one of the common problems is that customers get confused choosing the correct print technology for their application. Direct thermal and thermal transfer print process will generate a very similar looking labels yet the end result could be useless if the wrong label printer technology is used.
To help you make the right choice of printer hardware and labels we strongly recommend that you call us on 01202 683212 and talk about your requirements with one of our product specialists. We will be pleased advise you on the correct product selections.
A brief summary of the two common label printing technologies:-
Direct Thermal printing - is where the label printer uses no print ribbon, the labels have a heat sensitive coating which turns black to create the image as it passes over the print head in the printer. Pro’s
- Ideal for short life labels such as shipping and packaging labels
- Uses no addition consumable (ribbon or ink)
- Quicker for printer operators to reload their printers
- Direct thermal label printers tend to be cheaper than TT/DT printers
Con’s
- Shorter label life expectancy than thermal transfer labels
- Will fade rapidly in direct sunlight
- Very poor water resistance
- Limited range of direct thermal compatible label materials
Thermal Transfer printing - is where the label printer uses a print ribbon which is transferred onto the label surface using heat from the printhead.
Pro’s
- Ideal for long life labels such as asset labels & serial number labels
- Excellent print quality
- Good range of print colours available
- Huge choice of labels and tags that can be printed using thermal transfer
Con’s
- Print ribbon required
- Initial label printer cost is slightly higher than a basic DT model
With our years of experience in the label printer business we are happy to help you choose the correct label printer for your requirements and also advise on the best labels. The range of label printers that you can choose from is vast so please feel free to contact us.
