Thermal vs. A4 Printers

21 June 2021

Thermal Printers
  • Thermal printers use heat to transfer the image onto the paper and generally print on special paper from a label printer. All eCommerce Hub labels are designed to be printed by thermal printers on 4x6inch labels.
  • The most common thermal printer brands are Zebra, Citizen, and Dymo.

A4 Printers
  • This is the standard printer which prints A4 pages. If you select this option in ECommerce Hub, we will generate PDFs to match this paper size. The label print area will still be 4x6 inches.
  • If you are bulk printing, we will automatically adjust so that there are 2 labels per A4 pdf.
