What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printers?

The main distinction between direct thermal and thermal transfer printers lies in their printing methods. Direct thermal printers utilize heat-sensitive paper, allowing them to create prints without the need for ink or ribbons. This makes them perfect for short-term labels and receipts. On the other hand, thermal transfer printers employ a heated ribbon to generate prints that are more durable and long-lasting.
