1. The difference in consumables
(1) Thermal Printing Labels | Thermal label printers can only use special thermal paper. The thermal paper has a coating that changes color due to chemical reaction when heated. The thermal print head heats the thermal paper, and through this coating Realize thermal printing.
(2) Consumables for thermal transfer barcode label printers: self-adhesive label paper, PET, PVC, wash labels, tags and other label media.

3. Differences in application industry and cost
(1) Thermal label printers are suitable for industries that do not require high barcodes, such as supermarkets, clothing, logistics, and retail. Thermal Printing Labels
(2) Thermal transfer label printers are suitable for manufacturing, food industry, medical industry, automobile industry, electronic chemical industry, transportation logistics industry and textile industry, etc.
