Thermal Transfer Printers Intermediate

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.A thermal transfer printer is a type of printer that creates labels and signs by melting wax or resin-based “ink” onto paper, tape (made of nylon, polyester or vinyl), and even materials like heat shrink tubing.
