Zebra's Direct Thermal labels are available in paper and synthetic formats. Paper offers an inexpensive way to print in a variety of general-purpose applications, while synthetic offers more durable, long-lasting results with resistance to abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.
Direct thermal technology does not require a ribbon. Instead, a chemically coated heat-sensitive material produces images as heat is applied to the surface. Ideal for indoor applications where temperatures will not exceed high levels.
Both current and discontinued printers and included in the compatible printers list. For current printers only, click the printer name to view more detailed information.
