What Is a Thermal Printhead?
A thermal printhead is a key device used in thermal-type image output devices.
The thermal printing method is used for sticker printing and convenience store receipts.
Thermal printheads are also used for many other printing applications, including logistics, food barcode labels, ID cards, air and rail tickets, x-ray films, date printing on food products, and more.
A thermal printhead has multiple heating elements (heaters) lined up in a row on a heat storage layer (glaze). It is a device that prints by transferring heat generated when electric current flows through the heater to the printing media (thermal paper or ink ribbon).
