Direct printers apply heat to a chemically treated material. They do not use toner, ink, or ribbons. They are easy to use and require little maintenance. They print in black and white. The results are precise and durable.
A transfer printer applies heat to a wax or resin ribbon to melt it onto the label. The ink is absorbed to make a strong image that will last more than six months and withstand extreme temperatures and chemical exposures. It can be applied to polyester and polypropylene materials. You can make color prints by changing to a colored ribbon. It will be monochromatic, but there are color choices. The results are also precise and durable.
