What is the difference between Thermodirect and Thermotransfer labels? The difference between Thermodirect and Thermotransfer labels is the print method.

Both a Thermodirect printer and a Thermotransfer printer use a thermic printer head, which uses heat to transfer print (text/images/bar codes etc.) onto the labels. Thermotransfer printers use coloured ink ribbon, which when heated during the print process transfers print to the labels, whereas the Thermodirect printers don't use coloured ink ribbon. Instead the print is transferred directly from the print head to the label.  This means the labels are made to receive print, depending on which printer you have: Printer Compatibility:
• Thermodirect-Printer: Print without Thermodirect labels
• Thermotransfer-Printer: Print with coloured ribbon, use Thermotransfer labels
