5 Thermal Transfer - a ribbon is used. As the ribbon passes between the heated print head and the media, the heat of the print head causes the ribbon to release ink, which bonds to the surface of the media. Direct Thermal - no ribbon is used. The print head comes into direct contact with specially treated, heat sensitive material. As the print head elements are heated, the stock turns black, and the print becomes part of the label or tag. Printing Technologies
