Thermal Printer

A thermal printer is a type of printer that uses heat to produce images on paper, typically using thermal transfer or direct thermal methods. In thermal transfer printing, a ribbon coated with wax or resin is heated, transferring ink onto the paper. Direct thermal printing, on the other hand, uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens when exposed to heat. Thermal printers are known for their speed, reliability, and low maintenance requirements, making them ideal for printing labels, receipts, and barcodes. Commonly used in retail, logistics, and healthcare, these printers offer high-quality output and are efficient for high-volume printing tasks.
