The first option that comes to notice when we talk about retail or the POS market is thermal transfer labels. These labels are commonly used to generate price tags, bar codes, images, and many other labels. Instead of direct thermal paper, thermal transfer labels are prepared from thermal transfer papers, which are often used in industries and business enterprises.

 

The distinction among the two is in the technology used for printing - one of the processes is known as direct thermal printing, and the other is known as thermal transfer printing. These transfer printers are used for printing images on these labels, while direct thermal printers are used for printing content directly on thermal paper.

 

Thermal transfer labels generally use a thermal print head, pressed into a ribbon, which melts the ink into the material used. The result causes the ink to absorb into the material and become permanent. An important characteristic feature of these labels is that it does not smudge or fade and can be stored for a long time.

 

For instance: printing of labels utilized in a warehouse uses thermal transfer printers so that they may last longer and are durable and readable even after many years. This enables good label storage, which can be stored for future use as well. These labels are available in various sizes, designs, and measurements, which work on the method of heating the pins that help in the process of melting the ink directly onto the paper.

 

The label is then treated with wax that prevents the ink from spreading as it gets absorbed within minutes for permanent labeling. You can achieve a series of customized designs that help suit your convenience in more ways than one.

 

While printing, the resulting labels most often have a long life and are tough enough for any kind of usage. The thermal labels can easily be printed on paper, film, foil, and even substrates. They can produce various advertising and discount banners of different sizes as well; These Thermal Printers, Paper & labels can be easily obtained from a reputable online retailer.
