?Thermal transfer printers are the perfect solution for long term labels because they use ribbon printing.When the print head heats the ribbon, it melts onto the label surface, which can be made of a variety of materials, including polyester and polypropylene.Thermal printers are ideal for product labeling, inventory and asset tracking, and outdoor applications with longer service life and a choice of durable label materials.
