Label printing ? Understanding the different printing methods: I
understand direct thermal labels are not as durable as thermal
transfer, but how durable are labels printed on laser printers? Brief answer.

this is not the ideal site to support a statement about the durability
of laser printing, but it does say so:

Thermal-transfer is, indeed, very much subject to fading.  Postings to
a recent question quoted sites telling to photo-copy or scan any
thermal doc needed for later reference.

Well it depends what you are doing. If you are doing shipping and
printing out the labels I highly don't suggest it. It takes to long
were a thermal printer spits them out instantly. As far as the
integrity I would say it is quite comparable to the ones that the
thermal printers spit out. Also if you are doing shipping and you ship
out over 50 packages a week contact your account executive and they
might be able to hook you up with a thermal printer and labels for
free! Also uline.com supplies a large varity of label's. And they also
offer custom printing of label;s as well

Shigami,
Do I understand correctly that you are saying thermal can printd
faster that laser and also suggesting that fading (loss of legibility)
is not a problem?

If so, I disagree, Myoarin
