Cutting: Operation where the self-adhesive material is transformed into the desired shape using a die.

Direct thermal is a material coated with a layer that reacts to heat. Once heated, the print head reacts the solvents and the dye contained in this layer of the material and thus forms the image. Direct thermal is more expensive than thermal transfer, requires no ribbon and has a shorter life span than TT. A thermal transfer material creates its impression using a thermal ribbon. The heat of the print head causes the ribbon to react and fuse the print on the material.
