2. What is thermal printing and how does it work?
-
Direct thermal printing: This is done by passing a heat-sensitive tip over pre-heated paper. The heat activates a chemical layer in the paper to form the image or text. This technique does not require ink or ink ribbon.
-
Thermal Transfer Printing: An ink ribbon made of wax or resin is used. When the head is heated, the ink layer melts and adheres to the designated surface, giving greater durability and higher resistance to external factors.
The choice between technologies depends on the type of use, the required durability, the cost, the type of material, and the exposure conditions (sun, water, heat).
