What is THERMAL TRANSFER?
Thermal Transfer printers are clean and simple to use, and well-suited for a variety of materials including plastic films, flat packaging, label stock, plastic and foil. Because they can be used in either continuous or intermittent print modes, they offer a versatile production line solution for anything from pricing, date and time coding, barcodes and QR codes, to logos, ingredient lists and promotional messaging.
Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) creates high-definition images by using a printhead to push a ribbon into direct contact with a substrate. The printhead is made up of a series of miniature print elements under a ceramic coating, while the ribbon is covered with a specially-formulated coloured wax and resin mixture. As the elements heat small areas of the ribbon, the mixture melts and is transferred to the substrate surface, where it adheres as the surface moves under the printer.
