What Is Thermal Printing And Why Is It So Famous?
Thermal printing can be defined as a digital printing process used to create a printed image by heating thermal paper (thermochromic paper). There are two types of printing techniques such as thermal transfer and direct thermal transfer. Both printing techniques use a print head that applies heat to the marked surface. Instead of heat-sensitive paper, it uses a heat-sensitive ribbon to produce durable and long-lasting prints. Thermal printing has many advantages such as ease to recycle printed papers, easy printing ability, and low maintenance costs. The printed papers can be easily recycled as images disappear after a few days. Thermal printing offers fast printing and high quality of image, and printers used in thermal printing are easy to use, durable, and lightweight.
Thermal printing is used for various applications in retail, logistics, transportation, healthcare, and hospitality. Thermal printing is mainly used to label shipping products and to record live rhythm strips on a cardiac monitor in a hospital. It helps reduce labor costs, minimize manual error, and enable product tracking accurately. Thermal printing is cost-effective and delivers the product with great quality. The demand for thermal printers has grown rapidly in the last few years. Thus, manufacturers around the world are focusing on launching new products to meet the growing demand for thermal printers.
For instance, in January 2020, a Japan-based company launched a thermal industrial printer designed for dependability and durability in worldwide business-critical track and trace operations. Moreover, in March 2020, the United States-based company unveiled its new portable and lightweight barcode printer at MODEX 2020. Furthermore, in September 2020, a South Korean company launched a cost-effective, high-performance thermal printer for various applications, including logistics, retail, manufacturing, and warehousing. Thermal papers have made printing simpler than ever, allowing industries and businesses to provide a clearer printout at a faster pace for their customers.
