Brother P-Touch 2450 Questions:

Q. What is the difference between Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer Printers? For best performance at affordable price which one should I go for? What is the best application with Brother P-Touch 2450 label tapes?
A. Direct Thermal as well as Thermal Transfer printers have their specific pros and cons. It entirely depends on what qualities are you looking for in a printer to suit your needs.

Starting with the Direct Thermal technology, it uses heat to print text directly on chemically treated labels without the application of ribbons, inks and toners. They can print only in black and white. Because the labels are printed with the use of heat, the text will fade after a prolonged period of time. For example, if you are using Brother P-Touch heat sensitive label tapes, they need to be kept away from very hot environment as they cannot withstand heat or excessive light exposure. it is not a good idea to use them in labelling assets or inventory that needs to be stored for an extended period of time.

However, the upside of using Direct Thermal printers is that they require extremely low maintenance, are highly affordable and very easy to operate even for the beginners. Plus, you do not require to replace the supplies or the internal components frequently. If you need to create high quality shipping labels, receipt labels, name tag labels etc. at a cheap price then Direct Thermal Printer is the ideal choice.

Moving on to Thermal Transfer technology, the printer uses heat applied by the thermal print-head to melt down the resin-based ribbon onto the labels to create texts. Because ribbons are applied here, you can create colourful labels with great variety. As the ink from the ribbons is absorbed by the label material, the labels can withstand chemicals and high temperatures - they are long-lasting and durable.

The disadvantage associated with the Thermal Transfer printers is that you need to replace the ribbons frequently which is quite expensive. Also, they are a bit more complicated at functions than Direct Thermal Printers. Nevertheless, if you require high-contact labelling that can last for more than 6 months, thermal transfer is the right choice. For example, the Brother P-Touch 2450 label tapes can be best used in creating variety of texts, graphics and logos with the additional application of colour ribbon.

Furthermore, if you would like to consider the environmental features of both the printers, Direct Thermal Printer would win. As, it does not use the ribbons to print on to the labels which are not eco-friendly and recyclable. Hope the info on both the printer technologies will help you select the best that suits your needs.

Q. Why does the label print with a length of 25mm even after the Brother P-Touch 2450 label tape is set to length less than 25mm in P-touch Editor?
A. You will be able to print labels with length less than 25mm only when you print multiple copies at the same time with the “Auto Cut” checkbox cleared. Further, if “Auto Cut” checkbox is selected, the label will be printed with a length of 25mm instead of ‘less than 25mm’. Hence, you can use Brother P-Touch 2450 label tapes to print less than 25mm only when multiple copies are printed together provided the ‘Auto Cut’ checkbox is cleared.

Q. Do you have any option for coloured Brother P-Touch 2450 label tapes? How do I create colourful labels with my Brother P-Touch 2450 printer?
A. Thank you for the question. You can use the Brother P-Touch 2450 laminated TZe label tapes available on our website to create colourful labels using the P-touch Editor. The printer is integrated with thermal transfer colour technology that enables colour printing with variety of media.
