Direct Thermal Transfer Labels

IMEC Media's Direct Thermal Labels offer a lower cost option then Thermal Transfer Ribbons. However as with all of IMEC Media's products and services, the quality is of an exceptional standard.

Direct Thermal Printing

Uses a fixed printhead with a single row of heat elements. The printhead creates characters by directly contacting thermally-sensitive paper. A microprocessor turns individual dot elements on and off in a pattern corresponding to the desired image. Heat energy drives a chemical reaction in the paper. The resulting image is embedded in the surface coating, not laid on top as it is with an ink ribbon.
