Thermal Transfer Barcode Label Printer Information

barcode-label-printers.com is chock full of information about barcode label printers, supplies, and software.

Thermal transfer barcode label printers use a wax or resin, supplied on a ribbon, and transfer it to the label’s surface by melting it off the ribbon and onto the label.

Some thermal transfer printers allow multiple colors, or are dual use -- switchable between direct thermal and thermal transfer modes.

Definitely likely to provide the most visually flexible imaging, thermal transfer barcode label printers can provide a higher level of resistance to harsh environments than direct thermal, and higher contrast ratios than impact dot-matrix label printers.
