How do thermal printers work?

These days, Thermal Printers such as SAM4S ELLIX-10 Thermal POS Printer Series are gaining popularity as point-of-sale checkout printers in supermarkets and other sales outlets. They are not usually that can be found out home as they must be presented in offices in the form of fax machines and multipurpose printers. This implies that the thermal printers are specialized printers designed for a specific purpose, but how do they work? There are two ways by which the thermal printing process operates as they have only one main component that is heat. Its process requires the use of heat-sensitive paper. That heat-sensitive paper is often called thermal paper which is placed in a container provided in the thermal printer machine, with the end of the roll-fed into a slot. When the sheet reacts to the heat of the printer head, the pigments of heat form the letters and images.

While, the thermal printing process used in newer thermal printer models is slightly different as they now require ribbon printer cartridges. This new thermal printing process, the ribbon cartridge that contains ink with the consistency amount of crayon or wax is inserted into the printer. And again, when the thermal printer is used, the paper is fed into the slot between the printer head and the platen roller. When the heat is applied, the ink in the ribbon cartridge melts and sticks onto the paper.

There is some advantages of using the thermal printer and are considered to be the most special use printers. They are very simple to use, doesn’t require any brainstorming, just need to push few buttons. They run quietly, though. So, buy NCR RealPOS™ 7198 Double-sided Thermal POS Printer to foster your business.
