Thermal printers fall into two categories:

1. Standalone whereby no computer is needed when using the printer.

2. Permanent connection to a PC using a version of the Microsoft package.

We supply a complete range of thermal printers which are thermal direct (which print directly onto pre-treated thermal paper) and also thermal transfer. The Thermal transfer printing system prints via a thermal ribbon onto standard vellum paper. While both thermal and thermal transfer do the same job, thermal transfer has the advantage of producing print that has a very long shelf life and does not fade as easily as thermal direct when exposed to direct sunlight. Thermal transfer is now the preferred method of printing for many of the main players involved in the food industry.
