The cost of thermal transfer
printer varies, depending on the size of the printer and the features and cost
of the consumables such as papers, ribbons and print heads is about the same.
The quality of printing is totally depending on the printer, ribbon, the paper
and the environment such as where the printer is stored, the temperature and
the humidity. The ribbon used in these printers is basically consisting of
three layers the base material, the heat melting ink and the coating on the
print side of the base material.
Monochrome and color thermal transfer printers are
available. One thing that is important
is the print head should be cleaned between each of the ribbon change with a
cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. If we talking about direct thermal printers
the images prints by burning the dots on to coated paper as it passes over the
heated print head. If you have any queries about barcode supplies then please visit at ebarcode.com
