Thermal Printers
Thermal printers are cutting-edge printing solutions that utilize heat to create sharp images and texts on specially treated thermal paper. In contrast to ink or toner-based printers, thermal printers use thermal print heads to produce accurate, smudge-free prints in a speedy and efficient manner. Thermal printers are commonly found in retail, healthcare, logistics, and hospitality sectors because they are fast, easy to maintain, and affordable.
There are two primary types of thermal printers: **direct thermal** and **thermal transfer**. Direct thermal printers form images by generating heat directly onto the paper and are best for short-term labelling and receipts. Thermal transfer printers employ a heated ribbon to transfer ink onto the material and produce long-lasting prints that are best for barcodes, shipping labels, and product tags. With high-speed printing, quiet operation, and few moving parts, thermal printers are the ideal solution for companies looking for efficient and reliable printing technology.
