Overview
Not a home label maker, this TSC is a desktop thermal transfer printer built for barcodes and inventory labels. A ribbon transfers ink onto the label stock with heat, giving durable marks on rolls up to four inches wide.
Thermal transfer printing makes labels that hold up to handling and storage better than heat-sensitive direct thermal stock. The page says little about what ships in the box, so buyers should plan to source ribbons and cables.
Who it's for
Inventory clerks, small manufacturers and shipping desks that need long-lasting barcode labels get a desktop printer with older and newer ports. Casual users labeling around the house will find it more than the task needs.
Pros and cons
- Thermal transfer for durable labels
- USB, serial and parallel ports
- Handles long label lengths
- Compact desktop size
- Ribbon not listed as included
- Monochrome output only
- Warranty length not listed
Performance notes
Print durability comes from the ribbon and label pairing, since thermal transfer melts ink onto the stock rather than darkening heat-sensitive paper. Barcode scan rates depend on matching ribbon type to label material and running at a speed the media tolerates.
