Thermal label printers are a special type of printer used to create and print labels. Unlike ordinary paper-based printers these types of printers utilize a specially manufactured heat sensitive paper. The printing process occurs when this specially treated heat sensitive paper passes over the printer's thermal head. There are two different types of thermal label printers, the "direct thermal printer" and "thermal transfer printer".
