- Direct thermal media explained
Direct thermal media uses a transparent heat-sensitive coating applied to its surface to image text and bar codes. When the heat from the print head contacts the coating, it initiates a chemical reaction that turns the coating black. - Thermal transfer media explained
Thermal transfer media uses a ribbon to image the text and bar codes on a variety of materials, both paper and film. When the ribbon is passed beneath the print head, the heat softens the ribbon ink while in contact with the label or tag, resulting in the transfer of the ink to the surface of the label or tag.
