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.
