Direct Thermal (DT) printing does not require the use of a thermal ribbon because it uses heat-sensitive paper that already has ink incorporated in the label material. Direct thermal labels have a shelf life of 6 to 8 months and are appropriate for indoor, temporary use.

Direct Thermal printing can be used with desktop and industrial printers. Desktop printers use 1″ core label rolls or fanfold style labels.

Industrial printers use 3″ core roll or fanfold labels. Some of the most popular industrial printers include: Zebra, Datamax, TSC, Honeywell, and Citizen. These printers have a durable design for use in demanding environments where they are capable of printing large volumes of labels at a time.
