Frequently asked questions

How do these printers work without ink? They use a thermal print head to heat specific areas of heat-sensitive paper, which turns black to form the image. This means you only need to buy compatible thermal labels rather than ink refills.

Can these print in color? Most inkless thermal printers in this set are monochrome and only print in black. Some specialty models may support specific two-color paper, but standard thermal printing is single-color.
