Thermal label printer are a particular type of printer used to create and print labels. Unlike ordinary paper-based printers these types of printers utilize a specially manufactured heat sensitive paper. The printing process occurs when this specially treated heat sensitive paper passes over the printer's thermal head. They are designed to work without the need for a separate computer because they have their own built-in keyboard and display screen. Another type of thermal printer is the direct thermal printer. Just as the thermal transfer printer, it uses heat to create the label. The only difference is that it doesn't require a ribbon. Instead, it uses a special thermal paper. The printer works by burning the thermo-sensitive part of the paper, which results in the formation of an image on the paper.

Direct thermal label printers are not just used for printing barcodes. Direct thermal label printers can be synchronized with point of sale programs, which allow them to print other information on the labels such as model number, price, product description, and more. The printers are not limited to printing labels, either. They can also print tags, coupons, and even wristbands.

An additional benefit of these thermal printers is that they can print smaller labels without compromising the content, speed, and quality of the print. Companies can save money on supplies using smaller, higher resolution labels at a lower cost. The great thing about this is that the direct thermal printer prints with high density and high resolution resulting in a high-quality image; therefore, there is no need to reduce the content of the label. Direct thermal printers are also capable of processing a variety of data without affecting the speed of printing, so a larger quantity of labels can be printed as well.

In summary, investing in a direct thermal printer greatly reduces the overall cost of supplies while maintaining the quality of the labels.
