A label printer works by printing text, barcodes, or images onto labels using either thermal printing technology or traditional ink-based methods. Here’s how it works: Types of Label Printers & How They Work (A) Direct Thermal Label Printers (No Ink Required) Uses heat-sensitive paper that turns black when heated. No ink or toner needed. Best for shipping labels, receipts, and short-term labels (fades over time). Example: Rollo, Zebra ZD420, DYMO LabelWriter (B) Thermal Transfer Label Printers (Uses Ribbon) Uses a wax, resin, or wax-resin ribbon to transfer ink onto labels. Produces long-lasting, high-quality prints (resistant to fading, moisture, and heat). Best for barcodes, product labels, and industrial applications. Example: Zebra ZD621, TSC TE210, Godex RT700i (C) Inkjet & Laser Label Printers Works like regular printers but prints on label sheets. Uses ink or toner for full-color labels. Best for custom branding, food packaging, and product labels. Example: Epson TM-C3500 (color labels) Key Components of a Label Printer Print Head – Heats up (for thermal printers) or applies ink/toner.
