Barcode printer is a kind of generating equipment commonly used in label and bar code making equipment. It has two printing modes: thermal and thermal transfer. So, what is the difference between thermal and thermal transfer barcode printers?
1. Different printing supplies
Consumables used in thermal printers: thermal paper. The thermal paper is coated with a layer that will undergo a chemical reaction and change color when exposed to heat, similar to a photosensitive film, but this layer will change color when exposed to heat. Taking advantage of this characteristic of the thermal coating, heat Sensitive printing technology; (Note: thermal printers can only use special thermal paper)
Consumables used in thermal transfer printers: self-adhesive label paper, PET, PVC, washing labels, hang tags and other label media, and can also be printed on thermal paper;
2. Different shelf life
The storage time of the media printed by the thermal machine is not long, generally half a year! (The actual storage period, luminosity, temperature, etc. determine the actual shelf life);
The medium printed by the thermal transfer machine has a longer storage time, generally more than two years (depending on the quality of the label paper and ribbon used);
3. Different costs:
The cost of the thermal machine is lower, and the consumables are lower; the cost of the thermal transfer machine and the consumables are higher than the cost of the thermal machine;
4. Different applications
Thermal printers are suitable for companies with low bar code requirements, such as supermarkets, clothing stores, logistics, and retail;
Thermal transfer printers are suitable for manufacturing, automotive, textile industry, telecommunications, food sector, electronics industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, medical industry, public utilities, retail distribution, transportation and logistics, government agencies, etc. enterprise;
In contrast, thermal printing does not seem to require a ribbon, which is economical. In fact, thermal printing requires the use of thermal paper media, which is much more expensive than ordinary paper. In order to save money, some users try to buy the cheapest media on the Internet or at cheap vendors. This approach may save limited costs, but inferior materials may reduce the life of the print head and affect print quality, which often results in higher total costs. The builder here recommends that users purchase the printing media separately to look for the brand specified by the printer equipment manufacturer to avoid unnecessary losses.
Make your Garden into a bird sanctuary!
- It could be fill with mixed seed, sunflower seeds, peanut halves or safflower for less frequent filling.
- Clear panels for easy monitor seed-level. Lifting roof for easy filling and cleaning.
