Quality Thermal Transfer Printing



There are two types of thermal transfer printer i: e direct thermal and thermal transfer printing. It is the technology which is used for printing or used to produce the color images. There is a special technique which is used for producing color images by glued a wax-based ink on it onto paper. The wax which we used for printing is permanently glued on it. These are very efficient and highly reliable as having a small number of moving parts.


They use a wide variety of materials for producing long lasting images. The thermal transfer printers do not require any ribbon like thermal transfer printer labels. Now the barcode printers come in same and fixed sizes. The world first thermal transfer printer was produced in 1981. We at ebarcode provide so many barcode products with new designs and latest technologies. To get more updates for thermal transfer printing please visit once at https://www.ebarcode.com/.

What is a thermal transfer printer?

A thermal transfer printer is printers that produce labels and signs by melting wax or resin-based “ink” onto paper, tape, and even materials like heat shrink tubing. Thermal transfer printers are well suited to create barcodes and smear proof images and resistance to fading.

thermal transfer printerIts main function is print head that spans the width of measure tape or printing medium the printer are built to handle. However, the print head has controlled by a microprocessor, which gives heat to pins to activate in order to build a specific image. From this, these pins selected by a signal, which causes them to rapidly heat and cause against the ink ribbon, melting and transform the ink off its back film and onto the blank label surface.

Wax thermal transfer ribbons are the most used for printing on the paper. Basically , the images need security and wax printed labels need to stay dry and highly sensitive to chemicals and oils ,which melts wax away, whereas wax- resin compounds work with  smoothly and coated paper labels

What are the benefits of a thermal transfer printer?

•             For making barcode labels and for making clothing labels
•             Print plastic labels for chemical containers and tin packaging.
•             Its images proof for greater stability in the face of destructive elements, which proof its durability and fade resistance.

•             It also produces more accurate and easily scan-able barcodes, which formed superior barcodes that print exact bar width.
