4.3 Direct Thermal vs. Thermal Transfer Printing
The TE200 supports two printing methods:
- Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens when heated. Ideal for short-term labeling applications where labels are not exposed to harsh physical or environmental conditions (e.g., receipts, temporary shipping labels).
- Thermal Transfer: Uses a ribbon that melts ink onto the label material. This method produces more durable and long-lasting labels, suitable for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, high heat, or direct sunlight (e.g., product labels, asset tracking).
