Printing Performance:

• Print Method: It offers two printing methods:
  • Direct Thermal: This utilizes heat-sensitive labels for cost-effective printing of paper labels that don’t require extreme durability.
  • Thermal Transfer: This method uses a ribbon with ink that melts and adheres to various label materials when heated by the printhead, creating more durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, and chemicals.
• Resolution: 203 dpi (dots per inch) – This delivers good quality for most applications, producing clear text and readable barcodes.
