Thermal transfer ribbons are specialized ribbons used in thermal transfer printers to print text, graphics, and barcodes onto various substrates. Unlike direct thermal printing, which uses heat-sensitive paper, thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon coated with ink that is transferred onto the material being printed, such as labels, tags, or packaging. These ribbons are widely used in industries such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing for labeling, tracking, and product identification.
