Heat-activated color labels

Thermacolor(TM) is a heat-activated, color-coded thermal label from Standard Register (Dayton, OH). This patented label system generates up to five latent colors on one label, activated by a conventional thermal printer.

Multiple label inventory can now be consolidated down to one label, as required colors can be activated on demand through heat applied to specific colors. Works with most thermal printers and does not need color ribbons.
