What is the difference between PET Silver label and thermal sensitive PET silver paper

PET Silver label (PET silver label) and thermal PET silver paper has a clear difference in the driving method. The following is a clear summary of the two label paper drive methods:

PET Silver label: PET Silver Label:

Printing technology: PET Silver label can be printed using a variety of printing technologies, including but not limited to inkjet, laser, or thermal transfer. These techniques often require the use of ribbon or ink cartridges to print graphic information onto labels.

Printing principle: In inkjet printing, the ink is sprayed to the label paper through the nozzle to form an image; Laser printing uses a laser beam to "write" the graphic information on the surface of the label; The thermal transfer is to transfer the image to the label through the thermal transfer ribbon.

Thermal sensitive PET subsilver paper:

Printing technology: Similar to general thermal paper, thermal PET silver paper is mainly printed by thermal printing technology. This technique does not require ribbon or ink cartridges, but instead relies on the print head to directly heat the heat-sensitive coating on the label paper to produce the image.

Printing principle: In the thermal printing process, the print head will heat a specific area according to the graphic information that needs to be printed, so that the thermal coating will undergo a chemical reaction, thereby showing the text or image. This printing method is simple, fast and low cost.

In summary, the main difference between PET Silver label and thermal PET silver paper in the driving method is that they use different printing technology and printing principle. The former can utilize a variety of printing technologies and rely on ribbon or ink cartridges for printing, while the latter realizes inkless printing mainly through thermal technology.
