Research Summary
Direct thermal printing film is a specialized material used in thermal printing processes to create high-quality, durable, and reliable prints without the need for ink or toner. This film is coated with a heat-sensitive layer that reacts to heat from the thermal print head, causing it to darken and produce images or text on the surface. Direct thermal printing is commonly used for labeling applications in various industries, such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing, where barcode labels, shipping labels, receipts, and tickets need to be produced quickly and efficiently. While direct thermal printing is convenient due to its simplicity, the printed images may fade over time when exposed to heat, light, or chemicals, which is a consideration when choosing this method for specific applications.
