Thermal Transfer Printing

Thermal transfer printing is a process where heat is used to transfer ink from a ribbon onto a surface, typically labels or packaging. The printer has a heated printhead that applies precise heat to the ribbon, which is coated with a wax or resin-based ink. The heat causes the ink to melt and adhere to the material below, creating clear, durable images or text. This method produces high-quality, long-lasting labels suitable for industrial, commercial, and retail uses. It is preferred for its durability, sharpness, and ability to print on a variety of surfaces.
