Thermal transfer printing provides a durable printout that is less
vulnerable to chemicals, heat, and sunlight than direct thermal
printing. Make sure you select a ribbon type that matches the media
you are using and that you configure the printer for thermal transfer
media.
The printer supports thermal transfer ribbon rolls with the ink-coated
side facing either inward or outward. To determine which type of
ribbon you have, use a pen or other sharp object to scratch through the
ribbon against a piece of paper. If you see a mark on the paper, your
ribbon is wound ink out.
