Both direct thermal and thermal transfer technologies are widely used in barcode label printing, but they serve different purposes.
| Feature | Direct Thermal | Thermal Transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Printing Process | Heat-sensitive surface darkens when printed. | Heat transfers ink from a ribbon onto the label. |
