What is the heat transfer printing?

Vesub sublimation expert for you to analyze what is the thermal transfer printing, thermal transfer printing has the advantages and scope of use.

Most people know the printer is a dot matrix, inkjet and laser printing, but you may not have noticed, in the environment around us, almost all goods using heat transfer technology to print out labels, for example, such as open the phone shell, internal to see dense with a bar code label, the general senior carton wheat head has a heat transfer printing out a product labeling stickers, usually with a bar code. In addition, the purchase of clothing, clothing tag usually has a heat transfer printing method printing, at the train station to buy train tickets, boarding passes, luggage tags, etc., are also using heat transfer technology Print , especially behind almost all electrical products, there are some uses heat transfer technology to print labels as in this printing method, as there is more than one laptop wide range of printed labels. Why use heat transfer printing, heat transfer and how to generate it?

Because there are a lot of labels, it must require to be able to withstand the test of time, the same type of long-term, the text must be stored for a long time, can not fade, can not wear contact with the solvent, not because the temperature is higher color distortion, so it is necessary to adopt a special Material of print media and printed materials to ensure these features can not be achieved, the inkjet printing technology, laser printing can not be reached, and the effect of the original design of the stylus can not meet the requirements, so with the emergence of heat transfer technology. heat transfer technology, simply put, is to use a special ribbon the the toner coating on the ribbon, the working principle similar to the fax machine print head, heating, transfer to paper or other types of material on the ribbon coating on the material needed to produce strong adhesion, print out the handwriting and print media of choice, can guarantee not subject to outside influence. This heating process, how to heat, can be handed over to the computer to control, because they have developed a variety of specialized software used to print labels for users, it is very convenient, especially The label must generate a bar code, the bar code symbol generation therefore has become this kind of software an essential tool.

General printer design, usually designed for A4 paper size, some people in order to print labels in this paper above must also be ordered specially, very uneconomical for factory, one hour is sometimes necessary number of prints to thousands of print, these existing market printer can not be completed, so design a small paper, continuous fast printing printer came into being. Common printer on the market, per minute, can print up to 10 meters length, a label 2 cm high, equal to one minute can print 500.

Dedicated label printer is more than that, it also need for the plant, capable of binding to a scanner or keyboard, you can operate independently, and do not necessarily need a personal computer to be able to operate like the photo printer, you can directly read data, no longer need to rely on computers, eliminating the need for additional investment in the factory. The quality of a heat transfer printer decided to print effect, optional printer, in addition to price considerations, but also to consider the quality of the time of purchase must pay attention to the manufacturer's technical support and after-sales service protection , the technical capacity of the seller should pay attention to, because the label printing is often printed on special material above and compared to the average home printer to print larger, more complex operating environment. Some imported printer shape is gorgeous, but because there are not any formal office, most rely on some part-time informal import agent sales, after-sales service and spare parts to buy on often unable to meet customer needs, product problems, maintenance accessories has become a major test, it might be possible product quality problems or when the warranty period is limited to replacement parts, the product in a foreign country has been discontinued for some time. In addition, select the appropriate print materials is particularly important, not the most expensive thing must be the most suitable, because it must be in conjunction with the printer and print media.

Now there are more and more people recognize the benefits of heat transfer, it has not only to improve product grade only, is an important means to strengthen management.
