Thermal Transfer

  
Zebra's thermal transfer labels are available in paper or synthetic formats. Paper labels are inexpensive, yet offer excellent print quality and can be used in a multitude of general-purpose applications. Synthetic thermal transfer labels are durable, long lasting, and resistant to abrasion, moisture, heat, tearing, and chemicals.

Thermal transfer technology utilizes a ribbon and matching tag stock material to transfer an image onto the label material. For the best solution with long life requirements or harsh environments, use with a Zebra ribbon.
