7. Dye-sublimation printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation_printing

   Dye-sublimation printing (or dye-sub printing) is a term that covers several distinct digital computer printing techniques that involve using heat to transfer dye onto a substrate. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was thought to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.

8. Thermal paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_paper

   In the late 1980s and early 1990s, thermal transfer (distinct from direct thermal, and stable), laser printing, electrophotography, and, to a lesser extent, inkjet printing began to take away industrial and warehouse barcode applications due to better stability and durability of prints. Direct thermal made a strong comeback with point-of-sale ...
