Dymo label printers use a process called thermal printing. Dymo LabelWriter® printers use a thermal print head and chemically treated labels or paper. The printer sends a current of electricity to the thermal print head, which generates heat on specific areas of the print head. The heat then activates the heat-sensitive dye in the paper or labels, which changes colors when heated and gives you your imprint. The greatest benefit of direct thermal printing with a Dymo label printer is that there is no need for ink, toner or ribbons.
There are many different types of Dymo printers that are used both industrially and for home use. At Nev’s Ink, we specialize in labels for Dymo LabelWriter® printers.
