Interesting facts about thermal transfer printing
Due to the increasing spread and importance of one and two-dimensional barcodes in goods inventory systems, logistics and in the field of component identification, the
market potential of thermal transfer printing is growing all the time. The same is also true of in-cremental serial numbers, inventory designations, entrance tickets, rating
plates, wine labels and many more.
The advantages at a glance:

• High print quality with a resolution of 8-12 dots/mm (12 dots/mm corresponds to approx. 300 dpi)
• Barcode printing in excellent quality, hence good optical readability
• High print speeds of between 50mm/sec and 200 mm/sec
• Good print quality, high print speeds and the option of printing almost all backing materials permanently – these are the critical advantages of thermal transfer printing.

It’s good readability, resistance and abrasion resistance allow thermal transfer printing to be put to use in applications where the print results from laser, inkjet or dot matrix printers are not satisfactory. Although thermal transfer printing is still a relatively new technology, because it is so versatile, it promises a high rate of growth.
Thermal transfer printing plays a central role, especially in the field of printing variable data, single-proofs and even for small series. This is largely due to the fact that
thermal transfer printing is a non-impact printing (NIP) process. Unlike traditional printing processes, such as offset-printing, a NIP printing process does not require a
fixed printing block and can therefore print out different data with consistent quality from print to print.
