Thermal printer
In a thermal printer, a heat-sensitive paper is heated by a print head at the points to be printed.
Advantages: simple design, no ribbon. Disadvantage: expensive paper, paper turns yellow with time.
In a thermal printing process, the desired printing result is achieved "without pressure" by generating heat at specific points instead of by mechanical impact or pressure. To print, the paper (or other media) and a thermal print head or line, which consists of an array of small heating resistors, are moved past each other. Sufficiently high heat dissipation results in a sufficiently small thermal time constant for these heating elements to be able to print a paper web with high resolution while moving continuously.
The print density is specified here both in dpi and occasionally in (DPM). Common print densities are 6, 8, 12 or 24 DPM (corresponding to 150, 200, 300 or 600 dpi), but finer ones exist. The printheads are sensitive to contamination, especially by dust containing metal, whose deposits can cause a short circuit between the thermal resistors.
