A thermal transfer ribbon is a thin film that is wound on a roll that has a special black coating on one side. This coating is usually made from a wax or resin formulation. During thermal transfer printing, the ribbon is run between the label and the printhead, with the coated side of the ribbon facing the label.
How are direct thermal labels made?
Direct thermal labels are a cost-effective type of label made with the direct thermal printing process. The paper runs over the thermal print head then turns black where it's heated, producing a desired image. Two-color direct thermal printing can create both red and black images by applying heat at two temperatures.
