What makes thermal transfer printing better than direct thermal for my labels?
Thermal transfer printing, which the SATO WT205-001 supports, uses a ribbon to transfer ink onto label material, resulting in more durable, fade-resistant labels compared to direct thermal printing. This method works on a wider variety of label materials and produces longer-lasting barcodes, making it ideal for warehouse environments and outdoor applications.
