Why Thermal
Transfer printing?
The digital print technology combines the flexibility
of computer technology with the quality
of Hot Foil coding.






High resolution (300 dpi)
Consistent print quality
Durable print
Extensive font library in both TTF and Bitmap
High resolution graphics and logos


Slide 4

The Principles of
Thermal Transfer
printing
An image is printed using ink transfered from the ribbon
and bonded to a flexible substrate by applying pressure
and heat to release the format via energised dots.

Principal of intermittent

Ribbon

The printhead moves down then from left to right while
the ribbon and substrate stay stationary..

Substrate
After the format has been printed, the ribbon is rewound and the
substrate moves to its next position


Slide 7

Principal of continuous
The printhead moves up and down while the ribbon
and the substrate move forward.

Substrate
An encoder reads the speed of the substrate and feeds the information
to the printer. The ribbon moves at the same speed as the substrate.

Slide 18

Standard Frames
Over the years we have been able to establish a
standard frame design to suit most labelling machines.
All that remains is to adapt the standard frame to the
parent machine.
