Thermal ID Card Printer

ID card printers are thermal printers, meaning that when the plastic ID card moves under the print head, the heat burns the color into the plastic.There is no ribbon, ink or toner involved with direct thermal printing. Instead, the printhead applies pressure and heat directly onto the surface of heat-sensitive thermal paper. The thermal paper reacts to the heat of the printhead, blackening when heated and producing an image or text.Barcode Applications on Shipping Labels.
