By selectively heating thermal paper as it passes through the thermal print head, thermal printing (also known as direct thermal printing) creates a printed image. The coating of the heat-sensitive paper turns black in the heated spots, creating the necessary image. For a permanent print, thermal transfer printers transfer solid ink from a ribbon onto a label supply made typically of vinyl, polyester, nylon, or other thicker materials using a thermal print head.
In essence, thermal barcode printers work by applying regulated heat to the material to produce an image. Direct thermal and thermal transfer are the two types of thermal printing processes. Other printers cannot compare to the speed of thermal printers. The thermal printhead’s heat causes the images to appear in milliseconds. The enhanced speed makes it possible to print client receipts and labels or packages more quickly.
The Global Thermal Barcode Printer Market Accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The XT3-40 4-inch (114 mm) high-performance, economical Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer industrial desktop label printer has been introduced to the European market, according to a subsidiary of BIXOLON Co. Ltd, a major global manufacturer of mobile, label, and POS printers. Ideal for printing labels and barcodes in large quantities for a range of applications, including manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing.
There are two print resolution options for the printer: XT3-40 (203 dpi) and XT3-43 (300 dpi). With 128 MB SDRAM and 128 MB Flash, the printer’s base model (XT3-40) provides print speeds of up to 8 ips (203 mm/sec), producing high-quality text and images.
The XT3-40, which boasts a small and user-friendly design, includes a 2.4-inch full-color LCD display, a sturdy, anti-adhesive coated aluminium shell, and a double folding door for simple side loading of the media and ribbon. The changeable printer sensors (Gap, Black Mark, Notch, Continuous, and Fan-Fold) and optional Auto Cutter, Peeler, and Rewinder + Peeler features on the XT3-40 also enable bespoke printing.
