Direct Thermal Labels

Direct thermal (DT) printing utilizes heat-sensitive paper that has ink embedded within the label material. When this paper comes into contact with the hot temperature of the print head, it changes color before rapidly cooling, leaving behind the desired text or image.

Direct thermal printing is easy to use since it does not require ink, toner, or ribbon. This means less supplies and lower maintenance costs overall. Direct thermal is a versatile choice as it can be used in industrial, desktop, and mobile printers.
