There are several methods of printing, case marking, or labeling of cartons, that Hughes recommends: Thermal Transfer Printing: With Thermal Transfer printing, the transfer occurs on the ribbon rather than the substrate. Thermal transfer printing produces high resolution images that can be used on a wide variety of material Direct Thermal: This type of case marking uses the same process as thermal transfer but does so without the use of a ribbon. Images produces are very clear and defined and direct thermal printers are inexpensive and easy to operate Laser Printing: Laser printing uses light to generate a duplicate of the image, much like photocopying. A laser beam will create an electrostatic image to produce the printed image. This process produces dense high resolution images for graphics and text InkJet: There are two types of Inkjet printing, direct print and label applications. Ink Jet printing is virtually the only solution for direct printing on a variety of surfaces. Inline Inkjet printing can be done at high speeds and is the most efficient method for alpha-numerical coding in consumer goods Dot Matrix: Uses tiny round hammers to pound ink from a ribbon on to a substrate, they are very inexpensive, most typically used for checks and other carbon documents
