How a Thermal Transfer Ribbon Printer works

The thermal transfer process is accomplished in a thermal
transfer printer by applying a voltage to the printhead that
consists of 200 to 600 resistive heating elements per linear
inch of printhead (dpi-dots per inch). The resistive material
is covered by a thin coating or "glaze" that protects the
heating elements from abrasion as the thermal transfer film
makes contact with it.

The line of printhead elements is in direct pressure contact
with the back side of the thermal film. The ink side of the
thermal film is in direct contact with the receiver (ribbon).
This thermal film and receiver "sandwich" is driven by a
rubber-covered platen roller under the printhead print line
at a speed consistent with the heating cycle time of the
printhead.

Heat from the printing elements raises the ink to a
temperature above its melting point. At this time the ink
from the thermal film transfers to the receiver and adheres
to it. Together, the thermal film and receiver continue to
move from under the printhead for a short distance before
separation of thermal film and receiver occurs. It is at this
point that the image is formed. The text is permanent, water
resistant and will not run.
