What Is A Thermal Printer

The name thermal printer may sound strange to you at first. We all know the printer is necessary in daily work and life, but what is a thermal printer?

Principle Of Thermal Printer

For thermal printer, it's defined as: "A thermal printer has a semiconductor heating element installed on the print head which heats and touches the thermal paper. After heating, a chemical reaction starts in the film coated with a thermal color layer to produce patterns. The thermal printer reacts chemically at a certain temperature. High temperatures accelerate this chemical reaction. When the temperature is below 60℃, it takes a long time, even several years to get dark. However, at 200 ° c, it happens in several microseconds.”

To put it simply, the principle is that there is a layer of preheated discoloration film on the thermal printing paper. After heating the printing head of the thermal receipt printer, it becomes a pen with ink. On the thermal paper, the written place will turn black, which equals to drawing the pattern with the pen.

Thermal Printers In Life

In fact, the thermal printer is not far from our life, and even everyone has seen it, but you didn't notice it.

The man who collect water bills, a small machine in hand, would type the receipts on the spot after entering the value; the receipt is printed directly when swiping your card with POS terminal; supermarkets and KFC cash registers will also print a list for you after receiving money. When you buy clothes, a white note is attached to the clothes tag, on which the price of the fabric is printed by the barcode printer. These notes and receipts are thermal sensitive paper! And the machines that they use are thermal receipt printers.

See, it's not far away. Your life has been "infiltrated" by thermal printers! Why not come and get one!
