Thermal transfer roll label printing uses the same basic technology as direct thermal printers, but with the elimination of chemically coated material.
We have the facility to produce a variety of thermal labels from plain white labels through to plain colourwashed and pre-printed labels with company logos and details.
A thermal transfer ribbon is required for printing by this method, so why not order your printer ribbons at the same time? We ensure that we correctly match the ribbon to the material we supply to enable you to benefit from perfect print quality and longer life for your print head.
Advantages of thermal transfer roll label printing
- A heated ribbon is used in thermal transfer printing to ensure the labels can endure for a longer period of time
- With thermal transfer printing, you can be sure of a high contrast, crisp print quality
Disadvantages of thermal transfer roll label printing
- This method is high maintenance and can be costly to run as it requires ribbon, inks and print heads
- The speed of printing is determined by the printhead and the time it takes to heat the printhead, then transfer the ink from the ribbon to the label and finally the cooling of the printhead so that it can set for the next printing sequence
