    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal-transfer_printing

    Thermal transfer is preferred over direct thermal printing on surfaces that are heat-sensitive or when higher durability of printed matter (especially against heat) is desired. Thermal transfer is a popular print process particularly used for the printing of identification labels.

  3. Thermal printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_printing

    Thermal printing (or direct thermal printing) is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by passing paper with a thermochromic coating, commonly known as thermal paper, over a print head consisting of tiny electrically heated elements. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.

    Some thermal transfer printers are also capable of direct thermal printing. Using a PVC vinyl can increase the longevity of the label life as seen in pipe markers and industrial safety labels found in much of the market place today. There are three grades of ribbon for use with thermal transfer printers. Wax is the most popular with some smudge ...

    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 ...

    This is called thermal printing and was used in older model fax machines and is used in most shop till receipt printers. This is called direct thermal. This is called direct thermal. More complex is thermal transfer printing that melts print off a ribbon and onto the sheet of paper.

  7. Barcode printer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode_printer

    Direct thermal printers use a printhead to generate heat that causes a chemical reaction in specially designed paper that turns the paper black. Thermal transfer printers also use heat, but instead of reacting the paper, the heat melts a waxy or resin substance on a ribbon that runs over the label or tag material. The heat transfers ink from ...
