24Mm Thermal Print Head Thermal Transfer Printhead
Why do Thermal printheads wear out?
Heat, cooling and pressure are the main reasona thermal printheads fail. As thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) is fed past the printhead, samll resistor elements, known as dots ara headed by applying an electric current to them. The heat from the dots is then transferred to either the direct thermal paper (media) or thermal transfer ribboon. The heat from the dot pattern produces the text, barcode or image on the label. Because the dots must be heated and cooled very rapidly, and there is friction as the ribbon or paper passes against the printhead, the printhead will eventually wear out. As the printheas ages, the output will become lighter or sections of dots may stop heatiing and cause voids in the print.
