Citizen Thermal Printer 4 inches

Thermal printers are dot-matrix printers that operate by driving heated pins against special heat-sensitive paper to “burn” the image onto the paper. They are quiet, but many people don't like the feel of thermal paper, and the images tend to fade.Direct thermal printers are most commonly used to print items such as receipts and shipping labels. Thermal transfer printers use a thermal print head to transfer a solid ink from a ribbon onto a label supply (usually made from vinyl, polyester, nylon, or other thicker materials) to produce a permanent print.Fast, tough, versatile mobile printers from Citizen are the perfect solution for on-site and on-demand printing. Packed with user-friendly features. Robust enclosures, powerful processors and high resolution print heads enable fast, easy printing of labels, including bar codes.Thermal transfer printers work by using a heated print head that applies that heat to a ribbon, melting ink onto the media. The ink is absorbed so that the image becomes part of the media. This technique provides image quality and durability that is unmatched by other on-demand printing technologies.
