Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between thermal transfer and direct thermal?

Thermal transfer uses a ribbon to print onto label stock, producing durable labels resistant to heat, UV, and chemicals. Direct thermal uses heat-sensitive paper and requires no ribbon but produces labels that can fade over time.

Does this require a ribbon?

Yes — thermal transfer printing requires a compatible Zebra ribbon consumable in addition to label stock.
