[Web4lib] Thermal Transfer Printers

[Thomas Edelblute]

We had the same problem with the Dymo's and replaced them with a Zebra TLP 3844-Z.  However, this required some special programming.  We had to export the Horizon label file to txt file, send it in and they programmed the printer according to how Horizon created its output.

Subject: [Web4lib] Thermal Transfer Printers

We've been using a Dymo LabelWriter 400 direct thermal printer for our spine
labels for a few years now and are noticing the labels are starting to fade.
I am researching the thermal transfer printing solution - thermal printing
that also uses an ink ribbon. Is anyone else familiar with thermal transfer
printers? Any recommendations for model and/or vendor?
I would need a printer that will print from Horizon. Any suggestions would
be much appreciated! Thanks!
