Barcode Printing Basics

Regardless of the name—label printer, barcode printer or thermal printer—all are designed with the intention of printing your barcodes. The most common barcode printers employ one of two different printing technologies. Direct thermal barcode printers use a printhead to generate heat. This heat creates a chemical reaction in specially designed paper for barcode printing that turns the paper black. Thermal transfer barcode printers also use heat. However, the heat instead melts a wax or resin substance on a ribbon that runs on top of the label or tag material, transferring the substance to the tag.

Direct thermal printers are generally less expensive than thermal transfer ones, but they produce labels that can become illegible if exposed to heat, direct sunlight or chemical vapors. Depending on your label and printing requirements, you will need a thermal transfer printing solution if anticipate your labels being exposed to any of the above conditions.
