The 2 types printing methods we are concerned with are Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer.
Direct Thermal: Direct thermal printers are simple to operate compared to most other print technologies—with no ribbons or toners to replenish—label loading is a very simple procedure.
Thermal Transfer: Thermal transfer printers use the same basic technology as direct thermal printers, but with the elimination of chemically-coated media in favor of a non-sensitized face stock and a special inked ribbon. Consistent/sharp edge bar code print capability—with durable long-life and archival image stability. High contrast text, graphic, and bar code print capability. Durable for operation of joint office/industrial applications.
