Now it’s gotten even easier to realize the benefits of the TRACELESS Anywhere System – by deploying through the Thermal Transfer Printers that companies already use to print barcode and product identification labels. This drop-in simple solution only requires switching from current Thermal Transfer Ribbon (TTR) to KODAK TRACELESS TTR.
