How do direct thermal label printers work?
Direct thermal label printers use a printhead with tiny electrical elements that activate heat-sensitive media as it passes underneath. This causes the label material to change colour and produce a printed image.
With no ink, toner, or ribbon required, these printers are often favoured for their simplicity, efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
Direct thermal printing is ideal for creating labels that will be stored indoors for 6-12 months, such as retail and freight applications. The material will darken if the label is directly exposed to heat or light for too long, leaving text or barcodes illegible.
