Industrial-grade thermal transfer printer for medium- and high-volume printing. For a variety of industrial conditions and applications, HellermannTyton thermal transfer printers produce long-lasting, durable labels and cable markers using heat and specialised ribbons.
The most typical printing jobs for direct thermal printers are shipping labels and receipts. 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.
While inkjet printers produce very high-quality photographs, thermal printing produces pictures that are often of a higher calibre and have more vibrant colours. Due to the fact that they have fewer moving parts than inkjet printers, thermal transfer printers are more robust.
Ink is melted into the media in thermal transfer printers by employing a heated printhead that transfers the heat to a ribbon. The picture is integrated into the media as a result of the ink’s absorption. Other on-demand printing technologies can’t compare to the image quality and durability this method offers.
Both thermal transfer and direct thermal are frequently employed to create high-quality, reliable images on a variety of surfaces.
Furthermore, they provide numerous advantages over conventional inkjet and laser printers. Direct thermal printing and thermal transfer printing are the two methods of thermal printing available. Direct thermal printing has a lifespan of around 7–25 years, whereas thermal transfer printing has a lifespan of 2–35 years.
The Global Industrial thermal printer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A leading manufacturer of mobile, label, and point-of-sale (POS) printers, BIXOLON Co. Ltd., today announced the release of the XT2-40, a 4-inch (up to 118mm) industrial desktop label printer with Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer technology that offers high performance and affordability.
Ideal for printing labels and barcodes in large quantities for a range of applications, including manufacturing, retail, and logistics. There are two print resolution options for the printer: XT2-40 (203dpi) and XT2-43 (300dpi).
The printer’s base model (XT2-40) supports print speeds of up to 6ips (152mm/s), and it has 125MB Flash and 32MB SDRAM for producing high-quality text and images.
The XT2-40 has a small, user-friendly design and features a 2.4-inch, full-color TFT LCD display, an easy side loading mechanism for the media and ribbon, and external label support.
The XT2-changeable 40’s printer sensors (Gap, Black Mark, Notch, Continuous, and Fan-Fold), along with an optional field-installable Peeler and Auto Cutter that provide users the option to update as needed, enable for printing customization.
