But, with time the demand for red color has been increased and it needed innovation and advanced technology to print the multi and digital colors. The high contrast of colors can give an appealing and vibrant appearance of the images, texts, and labels.

However, ZINK's thermal printing technology does not use only two colors, black and white. It has multiple advanced options to impress and attract customers. It has completely changed the visual dynamics of the packaging labels. Well, the business owners need to understand that not every type of labeling needs zero ink technology or thermal printing.
