By utilizing thermal transfer ribbon technology instead of standard direct thermal printing, this device produces labels resistant to sunlight, chemicals, and abrasion. While it offers superior durability compared to standard label makers, users should note that it requires specific ribbon cartridges to function, which adds a recurring cost to the printing process.
