Thermal Printing

Welcome again to our blog!
Today we will be learning about a specific and very useful thermal machine, and it is called thermal printing!

Thermal printing  is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by selectively heating  thermal paper, as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head

Common Thermal Printer.

The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image. Two-colour direct thermal printers can print both black and an additional colour (often red) by applying heat at two different temperatures.

Uses:
They are also smaller, lighter and consume less power, making them ideal for portable and retail applications. Its efficiency can be utilized in retail sectors. Roll-based printers can be rapidly refilled. Commercial applications of thermal printers include filling station pumps, information kioskspoint of sale systems, voucher printers in slot machinesprint on demand labels for shipping and products, and for recording live rhythm strips on hospital cardiac monitors.

  3. I've seen them but I never thought they were thermal! It's really cool how something so simple can handle so much investigation and dedication from their inventors.
