Frequently Asked Questions (Thermal Labels)

What is the difference between Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer?

Direct Thermal uses heat-sensitive paper and does not require a ribbon; it’s best for temporary labels. Thermal Transfer uses a ribbon to “melt” ink onto the label, providing a permanent image that survives heat and sunlight.


Do you sell the ribbons too?

Yes. We provide a full range of thermal ribbons. Matching the right ribbon to the right label is essential for barcode scannability, and we can help you find the perfect pairing.


Can I get a sample roll to test in my printer?

Absolutely. We want to ensure your sensors and printheads are calibrated perfectly. We can provide Thermal Sample Rolls for you to test for feed accuracy and print density.
