Printing your own labels has never been easier! Whether you need high-end technical prints, roll labels, single labels, or sequential printing, it is now possible with the CAB MACH 4S thermal transfer label printer!
What is Thermal Transfer Printing?
If you don’t have much time but need large quantities, then thermal transfer printing is perfect for you! The process is simple and fast: the elements of the print head heat the ribbon, the heat prints, creating a customized label according to your preferences instantly.
Home Printing with Professional Quality
The days of waiting weeks for your customized labels ordered over the phone are over. Today, you have the freedom to print your own labels and stickers to include whatever you want: your logo, text, numbering, variable barcodes, or even references.
The wide range of resolution options (dpi) allows you to print according to your needs and level of detail. We offer the CAB MACH 4S thermal transfer label printer in 230, 300, or 600 dpi. You can now print high-quality labels on rolls, paper fanfold, cardboard, textiles, synthetics, acrylate, and Tyvek. Our pre-printed labels allow you to have colored labels while printing variable data yourself with your printer.
Depending on the model, the maximum print width can range from 104 mm to 108.4 mm, making it convenient for small inventories. This MACH label printer is ideal for healthcare, retail for product identification, and is even essential for administrative sectors such as schools or libraries for inventory and equipment loan management.
The MACH 4S thermal transfer label printer brings professional-quality printing to your home!
Thermal Transfer: The Most Durable Printing
There are various types of printing, whether thermal or not: thermal printing, digital printing, laser printers, inkjet printers, and other printing technologies. However, there are two main printing methods for roll label printers:
- Thermal Transfer Printing: The print head heats up, applying localized heat to the ribbon surface. This heat melts the ink, which is then transferred onto the label. Thanks to the heat, the ink from the ribbon adheres to the surface, ensuring high print resistance and a longer lifespan.
- Direct Thermal Printing: The print head applies heat directly to the surface of the label paper. These labels are not ordinary; they have a heat-sensitive coating, which darkens when exposed to heat or sunlight. No ribbons are required for this method.
How to choose the right printing method? It all depends on the result you want to achieve.
If you need high-resolution and long-lasting images, we recommend using thermal transfer printing (MACH CAB 4S), especially if your labels need to be resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and sunlight.
