TSC Barcode Printers
BSD Infotech supplies TSC barcode printers for product labels, stock and asset labels, shelf labels, receipts and wristbands — in direct thermal and thermal transfer models, 2-inch and 4-inch widths, and 203 or 300 dpi resolution. We also set them up with our billing, inventory and barcode software.
Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer?
Direct thermal
Prints on heat-sensitive labels without a ribbon. Simple and low running cost; best for shipping labels, receipts and short-life labels.
Thermal transfer
Uses a ribbon to transfer ink to the label. More durable, long-life prints for product, asset and stock labels.
