THERMAL BARCODE PRINTER MARKET INTRODUCTION

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.
