Thermal transfer is a printing technology method in which printers use regular paper and a heat sensitive ribbon. The ribbon deposits a coating of dark material on the paper when exposed to intense heat. Thermal transfer printers produce a more durable label that won't fade as quickly as direct thermal labels and are often used when a label needs to endure longer than a year.
A printing process that uses a thermal print head to create color images from a digital file. Some thermal printers can provide both thermal transfer and dye sublimation. Thermal transfer printers are more economical, but don't provide the high quality of dye sublimation.
A printing method like thermal direct except a coated ribbon is used and paper or poly material is used as a supply. This eliminates the problems of fading or changing color inherent in thermal direct printing.
Incorporates thermal printheads and an intermediary carbon ribbon. When the ribbon is heated from the thermal print head, ink from the ribbon is fused onto the plain paper.
A method of printing by which heat from the printhead melts ink from the ribbon onto media. The ink adheres to the media as it cools.
a non-impact that uses heat to register an impression on paper
A printing method like thermal direct except a onetime ribbon is used and common paper is used as a supply. This eliminates the problems of fading or changing color inherent in thermal direct printing. UPC Universal Product Code. The standard bar code type for retail products in the United States.

This Digital Printing process uses heat and pressure to fuse colored resins to a material. Also known as thermal transfer printing. This is the best process for short-run and fast printing on films (thin plastics) offers good durability. Additional protection from UV, chemicals, and/or abrasion can be obtained with overlamination.
Imprinting process that uses heated pins against a transfer ribbon to image a paper or film substrate.
Uses digital data to drive thermal printheads that melt spots of dry thermoplastic ink on a donor ink ribbon and transfer them to a receiver to produce colour images.
A printing process used in which heat transfers carbon ink from a ribbon to plain paper.
A printing method that uses heat to transfer colored dye onto the paper.
A high-speed, on-demand printing method that uses heat and pressure to melt specially-formulated ink ribbons onto a coated label face. Thermal Transfer is the best option for applications that require labels to last more than 1 year, with the ability to print to a variety of materials.
A printed system like thermal except a one-time ribbon is used and common paper is used as a substrate; eliminates the problems of fading or changing color inherent in thermal.
Printing technology that uses heat to deposit dyes or resins from a donor sheet (often called foil) onto a receiver material.
The printing method that creates an image by transferring ink from a heat activated ribbon onto the media using the heat from the thermal printhead.
A printer technology that uses heat to transfer colored dye onto paper.
A thermal printing process utilizing a temperature sensitive ribbon that through heat and pressure is selectively transferred to a printable surface thus creating the desired image. The ink is transferred from the ribbon to the print surface thus the term "thermal transfer."
