Thermal Printing
By selectively heating thermal paper as it passes through the thermal print head, Thermal Printing (also known as direct thermal printing) creates a printed image. The coating of the heat-sensitive paper turns black in the heated spots, creating the necessary image. The use of a heated ribbon in thermal transfer printing, on the other hand, results in graphics that are robust and long-lasting. Prints produced with this method are renowned for being extremely robust and smear-resistant. As a result, thermal printers have gained popularity for creating durable labels and easily scannable barcodes, as well as for printing name badges, wristbands, tickets, and other types of identification.
