2. Dye-sublimation printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation_printing

   e. 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.

3. Thermographic printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermographic_printing

   Thermographic printing refers to two types of printing, both of which rely on heat to create the letters or images on a sheet of paper. The simplest type of thermography is where the paper has been coated with a material that changes colour on heating. This is called thermal printing and was used in older model fax machines and is used in most ...

4. Thermal-transfer printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal-transfer_printing

   Thermal-transfer printing is done by melting wax within the print heads of a specialized printer. 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.

5. Pad printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad_printing

   t. e. Pad printing (also called tampography) is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object (e.g., a ceramic pottery). This is accomplished using an indirect offset (gravure) printing process that involves an image being transferred from the cliché via a silicone pad onto a substrate. Pad printing is used for printing on ...

6. Printer (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_(computing)

   Impact printing, unlike laser printing, allows the pressure of the print head to be applied to a stack of two or more forms to print multi-part documents such as sales invoices and credit card receipts using continuous stationery with carbonless copy paper. It also has security advantages as ink impressed into a paper matrix by force is harder ...

7. Thermal printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_printing

   v. t. e. A thermal printer. Bills and receipts are typically printed on thermal paper. [1] 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.
