There are mainly the following printing methods suitable for the three heat-sensitive label paper:
1. Thermal printing
Principle: Thermal printing is to use the thermal head on the thermal printer to heat the thermal coating on the label paper, so that it can undergo a chemical reaction and change color, so as to print out the required text and pattern. This method does not require ink cartridges or carbon strips, making it easy to operate and relatively low cost.
Advantages: For the three thermal label paper, thermal printing is a very ideal printing method, because it can give full play to the waterproof, oil, chemical and other characteristics of the three thermal label paper, while printing the content is clear and durable.
2. Barcode printing
Principle: The barcode printer transfers the ink on the carbon belt to the label paper through the print head, or prints the barcode and text directly on the label paper through the thermal sensitive method. For the three heat-resistant label paper, the barcode printer usually selects the heat-sensitive mode for printing.
Advantages: The barcode printer can precisely control the print quality to ensure the accuracy and readability of the barcode, which is very suitable for scenarios that require high-quality barcode labels. For the three heat-resistant label paper, the barcode printing can also maintain its excellent physical and chemical properties.
3. Laser printing
Principle: Although laser printers are mainly used for printing ordinary paper, in some specific cases, they can also be used for printing heat-sensitive label paper. The laser printer forms electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum through the laser beam, and then prints through the process of toner attachment and fixing.
Note: However, it is important to note that laser printing may not be as direct and efficient as thermal printing, and some special properties (such as high viscosity) of thermal label paper may not be fully reflected. In addition, the cost of laser printing is usually higher, so in practical applications, it is necessary to choose according to specific needs.
Sum up
For the three thermal label paper, thermal printing is the most commonly used and the best printing method. It can not only fully show the excellent performance of the three heat sensitive label paper, but also has the advantages of simple operation and low cost. Barcode printing is also a viable option, especially for scenarios that require high-quality barcode labels. While laser printing is theoretically feasible, it may be limited by factors such as cost and efficiency in practical applications. Therefore, when choosing the printing method, it should be comprehensively considered according to the specific needs and use scenarios.
