There are many types of printers, but the printers that most people know are usually needle, inkjet, and laser printing, but you may not notice that almost all of the products in our environment are hot. The label printed by the transfer technology, for example, if you open the phone case, you can see the dense bar code label inside. The general head of the high-end box has a thermal transfer printed one. A sticker on a product label, usually with a barcode. In addition, when purchasing clothing, the hanging tag on the clothing is usually printed by thermal transfer printing. Train tickets, boarding passes, luggage tags, etc. purchased at the train station are also printed by thermal transfer technology. Behind almost all electrical products, there are some label labels printed by thermal transfer technology. Like a laptop, there are more than one label printed in this way.
Why use thermal transfer printing, how is thermal transfer produced?
Because there are many labels, it must be able to withstand the test of time, long-term invariant type, text must be preserved for a long time, and can not fade, can not wear because of contact with solvents, can not deform and discolor due to high temperature, so it is necessary to adopt a kind Special materials of printing media and printing materials to ensure these characteristics, the general inkjet printing technology can not be achieved, laser printing can not be achieved, and the effect of the needle and the original design can not meet the requirements, so there is thermal transfer technology appear.
The thermal transfer technology, in a nutshell, uses a special ribbon to transfer the toner coating on the ribbon to a paper or other type of material through a working principle similar to that of a fax machine. In addition, since the coating material on the ribbon can be selected according to needs, a strong adhesion is generated, and the selection of the printing medium can ensure that the printed characters are not affected by the outside world. The heating process, how to heat it, can be given to the computer to control. At present, since various softwares for printing labels have been developed, it is very convenient for the user, especially in general. Labels must produce barcodes, and the generation of barcode symbols has become an indispensable tool for such software.
The general printer design is usually designed for A4 paper size. Some people have to order it separately to print labels on such papers. It is very uneconomical, and for the factory, sometimes it takes one hour to print. With thousands of prints, these existing printers on the market cannot be completed, so a printer that can print continuously and quickly for small papers has emerged.
A dedicated label printer is more than that. It is also designed for factory needs. It can be operated independently with a scanner or keyboard. It does not need to be operated by a personal computer. Just like the current photo printer, it can read data directly. No need to rely on computers, saving the factory's extra investment.
