There are two mainstreams, and the difference is huge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thermal printing technology relies on heat rather than traditional ink or toner. Unlike traditional printers, which rely on liquid ink or powdered toner to transfer images to paper, thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper. When the printhead heats up, it selectively activates certain areas of the paper to produce the desired print effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct_Thermal_Technology\"><\/span>Direct Thermal Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Thermal printers use special heat-sensitive paper that reacts to heat applied by the printer&#8217;s print head, activating a chemical coating on the paper that prints the image. This allows you to print text or images without the need for ink or ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is it suitable for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Express delivery slips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receipts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short-lived tags, such as concert tickets and luggage tags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There are also many problems:<\/strong><br>Thermal printouts are susceptible to fading if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods due to the paper&#8217;s heat sensitivity. Thermal printouts are not designed for long-term storage and are therefore not suitable for archival purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71.png\" alt=\"thermal shipping label printer\u200b - A71\" class=\"wp-image-5078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.aiyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wholesale-thermal-shipping-label-printer\u200b-A71-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">thermal shipping label printer\u200b &#8211; A71<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thermal_Transfer_Technology\"><\/span>Thermal Transfer Technology <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thermal transfer ink is applied to the label using a ribbon through a high-temperature heat and pressure process.
