What Is a Thermal Printer Head?
A thermal printer head is a component used for printing in thermal printers.
It is primarily employed in receipt printers and barcode printers. The built-in heater is heated, causing thermal paper to change color and facilitating the printing process.
Its applications are diverse, with receipt printers used for printing receipts and invoices, barcode printers for barcode printing, and custom printers applied to printing on items like T-shirts and towels. A notable feature is its high printing speed, as it directly prints on thermal paper, which is relatively inexpensive, resulting in lower printing costs.
When using it, it is essential to consider proper thermal paper selection and confirm the temperature settings of the printer head.
