Label & Tape Solutions
for Today's Business |
The difference between direct thermal labels and regular labels is that they use a heat-sensitive dye in the paper, rather than standard ink. To use these types of labels, you need a direct thermal printer.
These printers use a thermal print head and chemically treated labels or paper, an electrical current is sent from the printer to the print head, and heat is generated. The heat will then activate the dye, which changes colors and gives the imprint. With these types of printers, there is no need for toners, ink or ribbons, which can save your company money in the long run.
You typically see direct thermal labels in gas stations, retail, movie theaters, voucher printers in slot machines and shipping desks everywhere. There are many advantages to these types of labels, and the one disadvantage is that they are light sensitive. Heat and long term contact can lead to fading over time. But do not worry; if your labels have faded, you can quickly reorder a new batch, and we will send it to you right away.
Here at Nev's Ink, you can order direct thermal labels in various sizes and colors. For more information about direct thermal labels or any of our other labels, visit our website or give us a call at 1-800-638-7465. We will answer any questions you may have, contact Nev's Ink today.
