Thermal transfer technology is one of the most widely used printing technology for industrial applications. This printing system enables the processing of a variety of label materials. Depending on the combination of label and ribbon, data carriers can be printed with very diverse properties for their use:
- weather resistant
- temperature resistant
- chemical resistant (e. g. pickling, degreasing baths, etc.)

Thermal transfer is the ultimate printing system for small-format labels for identification synchronised to production.

The processing of continuous labels (on a roll) offers high operational reliablity for "print on demand" applications.
