2. Thermal-transfer printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal-transfer_printing

   Thermal transfer is preferred over direct thermal printing on surfaces that are heat-sensitive or when higher durability of printed matter (especially against heat) is desired. Thermal transfer is a popular print process particularly used for the printing of identification labels.

3. Thermal printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_printing

   Thermal printing (or direct thermal printing) is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by passing paper with a thermochromic coating, commonly known as thermal paper, over a print head consisting of tiny electrically heated elements. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.

4. Barcode printer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode_printer

   Direct thermal printers use a printhead to generate heat that causes a chemical reaction in specially designed paper that turns the paper black. Thermal transfer printers also use heat, but instead of reacting the paper, the heat melts a waxy or resin substance on a ribbon that runs over the label or tag material. The heat transfers ink from ...

5. Label printer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Label_printer

   Therefore, direct thermal labels are primarily used for short duration applications, such as shipping labels. thermal transfer printers use heat to transfer ink from ribbon onto the label for a permanent print. Some thermal transfer printers are also capable of direct thermal printing. Using a PVC vinyl can increase the longevity of the label ...

6. Thermal paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_paper

   In the late 1980s and early 1990s, thermal transfer (distinct from direct thermal, and stable), laser printing, electrophotography, and, to a lesser extent, inkjet printing began to take away industrial and warehouse barcode applications due to better stability and durability of prints. Direct thermal made a strong comeback with point-of-sale ...
