thermal transfer

Thermal transfer printing 1 'Thermal transfer printing' is a digital printing process in which material is applied to paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with direct thermal printing where no ribbon is present in the process. It was invented by SATO corporation around the late 1940s.

Thermal transfer 1 Thermal transfer is preferred over Thermal printer|direct thermal printing on surfaces that are heat sensitive or when higher durability of printed matter (especially against heat) is desired.

Thermal transfer 1 Thermal Transfer is a popular print process particularly used for the printing of identification labels. It is the most widely used printing process in the world for the printing of high quality barcodes.

Thermal transfer 1 The thermal transfer print process utilises three main components: a non-movable print head, a carbon ribbon (the ink) and a substrate to be printed, which would typically be paper, synthetics, card or textile materials. These three components effectively form a sandwich with the ribbon in the middle.

Thermal transfer 1 The main benefit of using a one-trip thermal transfer ribbon is that providing the correct settings are applied prior to printing, an 100% density of printed image is guaranteed; compare this with a pre- inked ribbon on a dot matrix impact printer ribbon which gradually fades with usage
