These direct-thermal labels are designed for printing without ribbons or ink cartridges. The material generally consists of a paper base, a thermal-sensitive coating, and a protective layer. Heat from the printhead activates the coating and creates the printed image. High-sensitivity face material supports use with low-voltage printheads. Reduced printing energy helps minimize printhead wear. The adhesive bonds well to many common materials, including nonpolar surfaces and films. The material provides good converting and label-processing performance. It is intended for short-term use in moderate-temperature environments such as logistics, pricing, scales, cold rooms, freezers, and shelf identification.
