TT printing uses a heated ribbon to produce durable, long-lasting images on a wide variety of materials. The ribbons can be different colours other than black. Labels have a shelf-life of over 1 year. Labels are required to be printed on a variety of different substrates (i.e. papers, films or foils)
Examples: UL Recognized Film Labels for Outdoor Use, Shelf Marking Labels, Product Labels.
*Direct thermal (DT): No ribbon is required. *
DT printing creates the image directly on the printed material. Labels print only in black, unless they are pre-printed with special thermo chromatic ink. Label shelf life is less than 1 year.The primary benefit is an overall lower cost and easier media changeovers since ribbon is not required.
Examples: Shipping Labels, Library Date Due Labels
