Ribbonless Technology
Direct Thermal Labels — No Ink Required
Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive thermal paper to create clean, sharp black images and scannable barcodes without ink, toner, or thermal ribbons.
Do direct thermal labels require ink?
No. Direct thermal labels do not require ink cartridges, ribbons, or toner. Thermal printers create crisp black text and barcodes by applying heat directly to the heat-sensitive top layer of the label paper.

What is the difference between Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer? +
Direct Thermal prints directly onto heat-sensitive paper without ink or ribbon. Thermal Transfer uses a heated ink ribbon to melt wax/resin onto plain paper or synthetic labels.
