DH240 or TH240?
Choose the DH240 / DH340 when labels only need to last weeks or months, such as shipping and picking labels, and you do not want to stock or change ribbons. Choose the TH240 / TH340 when labels must stay readable for years or are made of synthetic material: it prints thermal transfer with a ribbon and is also available with a UHF RFID encoder and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
All DH240 / DH340 printers below are CE certified and covered by manufacturer warranty. They print on direct thermal labels without a ribbon — see our labels.
