What Makes Direct Thermal Different from Thermal Transfer?
The Godex DT2x uses direct thermal printing, meaning it prints by applying heat directly to coated labels.
Unlike thermal transfer printers, this model:
• Does not require ribbon
• Does not require ink cartridges
• Reduces spare parts complexity
• Lowers operational handling
Direct thermal is ideal for short lifecycle labels, shipping labels, QR code labels, and barcode labels where long-term UV resistance is not required.
What Labels Does a Godex DT2x Use?
The Godex DT2x uses direct thermal labels only.
To ensure compatibility:
• Choose labels marked Direct Thermal
• Confirm width does not exceed 2 inches
• Confirm proper roll core size
• Match media to handling environment
For businesses needing a wide range of label materials, DuraFast Label Company supplies compatible options across paper and coated media types.
