Research Summary
A thermal printer is a type of printer that uses heat to produce images on specially coated paper or thermal transfer ribbons. Unlike traditional inkjet or laser printers, thermal printers do not require ink, toner, or ribbons. Instead, they rely on the application of heat to selectively darken areas of the paper or ribbon, creating text, graphics, or images. There are two main types of thermal printers: direct thermal printers, which use heat-sensitive paper and are commonly used for printing receipts and labels, and thermal transfer printers, which use a ribbon to transfer ink onto the printing surface for more durable prints suitable for applications such as barcode labeling and product packaging. Thermal printers are valued for their speed, reliability, quiet operation, and low maintenance requirements, making them popular choices for a wide range of applications in industries such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing.
