Types of RFID thermal label printers
RFID printers encode and print tags using one of two printing processes: either direct thermal printing (using heat-sensitive RFID labels) or thermal transfer printing (using thin film ribbons made of materials like wax and resin). Both types are capable of printing labels for use with high and ultra-high frequency RFID systems, but they offer different benefits:
- Direct thermal RFID label printers are the most cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. This method involves printing directly onto the label, so these devices don’t require consumable ribbons – which can be expensive and are not easy to recycle.
- Thermal transfer RFID printers cost more to use in the long-term because they need an ongoing supply of printing ribbons. That said, this technology produces high-quality labels with better printing quality.
Choosing the right RFID printer
All RFID label printers are supplied with encoding technology to create RFID tags, but beyond this there are significant differences between brands and models.
Zebra and Toshiba manufacture a variety of industrial-grade devices that can handle high volumes of printing and still produce exceptionally precise printing quality for the most accurate tags. Looking for something smaller or at a lower price point? Brother and Primera RFID printers are often the go-to choice for mid-range desktop models. Businesses in need of mobile printing capabilities are also well catered for by the likes of TSC and Zebra
