Creating an image through a heating procedure is called
thermal printing. In general, there are two types of thermal printers that are
available in the market such as – thermal transfer or thermal wax and direct
thermal or thermal auto chrome.
Direct thermal printers, like - SAM4S GT-100 (Giant) Thermal POS Printer, uses a special thermal
paper which is chemically treated, and
when heat is applied to the paper, the ink changes in different color. The process includes the paper passed through a heating element within
the printer through rollers, then the particular section that is heated the
paper surface changes its color to form
images or text. Whereas, thermal transfer printers run on ribbons and they’re
liable to hold the ink on a ribbon, and
when they’re heated, the ink is transferred
to the paper. Well, both of these make use of
similar types of heating element.
These days, thermal printers are
extensively used everywhere, wherein, many local businesses and
supermarkets still use thermal printers for printing receipt of their
customers’ transactions. Also, they are commonly used in bank ATMs as the ATMs don’t opt for conventional ink in printing, that’s why they always work with
thermal printing technology. Thermal papers are specifically loaded in them to
provide you the receipt on the spot when you’re done with your transaction.
These printers are well-known for their superior printing
speed, which makes them suitable for various business applications. They are
being extremely reliable printers that produce images where and when required,
providing durability. Typically, uses the paper thinner than the standard one,
so each roll lasts longer which making it affordable to use. Thus, we recommend
