Termal Fiş ve Etiket Printer Seçimi: İşletmeler İçin Rehber
Direct thermal or thermal transfer? Choosing the right printer by comparing receipt printers and label printers in terms of print width and consumable costs.
Direct Thermal vs. Thermal Transfer
Direct thermal printers print on heat-sensitive paper and don't use a ribbon; they're ideal for receipts and short-lived labels. Thermal transfer printers, on the other hand, use a ribbon, producing long-lasting prints that don't fade; they're suitable for barcode/asset labels.
Receipt Printer or Label Printer?
Receipt printers (typically 80mm) are optimized for fast sales receipt printing. Label printers are used to print product/shelf/shipping labels, with label size and barcode quality being key priorities. Depending on your needs, you may require separate devices for each purpose.

58mm and 80mm are common widths for receipts. When choosing labels, select according to the widest label size you require. At busy checkout points, print speed (mm/sec) affects customer waiting time.

A cheap printer can mean expensive consumables. Calculate the cost of thermal rolls/labels and ribbons based on your annual consumption; total cost of ownership matters more than the purchase price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print barcode labels with a receipt printer?▾
Most receipt printers are not suitable for printing durable adhesive labels. For permanent product/shelf labels, a label printer that supports thermal transfer should be chosen.
Why do thermal receipts fade over time?▾
Direct thermal paper fades with heat and light exposure; this is normal and acceptable for receipts. For labels that need to be stored long-term, use thermal transfer (ribbon) printing.
