Thermal Transfer Printing Process

Thermal transfer printing process involves four heads that are under the substrate components of it, let’s see what they are –

LINER

It is made up of a paper material having a silicon coating, and its primary function is to promote easy handling of the label from pre-print to print and protect the adhesive layer presented in the printer. While at the end of the printing process when the label is ready, the liner is removed to adhere to its intended object.

ADHESIVE

A layer of adhesive forms a bond between the printed substrate material and the object to which it will adhere. Since there are many types of adhesive, but each of them is designed to meet specific application requirements. When there is a time for determining what kind of adhesive is required, there are many things to consider that includes:

• if the label needs to be permanently affixed to a surface or easily removed
• whether the surface to which it will be applied is rough or smooth
• if the label will be used in any extreme environments, e.g., high temperature or high humidity.

SUBSTRATE

When the substrate layers for thermal transfer printing are made of paper or one of many different types of synthetic material, it's all depending on the desired durability of the application. But, the substrate is the actual material that carries the printed image onto the paper.

TOPCOAT

The Topcoat layer is always presented for thermal transfer receptive labels and this layer encourages adhesion of the various thermal transfer inks to the substrate layer introduced in thermal transfer printing.
