Others comment that thermal prints don't last long, but that's all dependent on the print material. The typical receipt fades after a couple of months, but Brother has small label printers that are often used in archiving and those labels can last for decades.
So just take some time to find the right medium for your needs and thermal printers can be a decent option.
- RobotToaster 3y agoOne type of brother label printer (the ones that take "tze" cartridges) are thermal transfer printers, which last very well. They transfer pigment from a separate ribbon, rather than chemically change the label.
- a1o 3y agoDo these require a specific software to be able to print or can they take anything and just print? Like, is it a regular driver, could I connect to this brother printer from my iPhone?
- notatoad 3y agothe one i've got (brother p-touch) seems to require a proprietary software suite, but i haven't really put any effort into figuring out whether there's an alternative way to print to it. it definitely does not "just work", it's not detected as a printer in windows.
