Printronix T630-112 Barcode Label Printer

The T600 is unique in its ability to operate as both a direct thermal and thermal transfer printer. Direct thermal printers are less expensive to operate since they print directly onto media. The downside of this technology is that labels or media can fade over time and users are limited to printing on direct thermal media. Thermal Transfer technology uses a ribbon to transfer the image so it generates a more durable label that won't fade. It gives users the option to choose from a wider range of media including water resistant and tear resistant labels. Having the option to choose means the same printers can be used throughout an application and print on different types of labels
