Frequently Asked Question

Direct thermal uses heat-sensitive labels that darken without a ribbon, ideal for short-term uses like shipping labels. Thermal transfer melts ink from a ribbon onto labels for durable, long-lasting prints suitable for harsh environments or extended storage.

TSC provides mobile (rugged, portable for field use), desktop (compact for office/retail labeling), and industrial (high-volume for warehouses/manufacturing) thermal printers, supporting both direct thermal and thermal transfer methods.

Every TSC printer includes BarTender Ultralite, a free, intuitive software for designing and printing custom labels, barcodes, and graphics with drag-and-drop ease

TSC offers a standard 2-year warranty on the printer and 12 months on the printhead, with global support for reliable performance.
