Discover the advantages of the Indumak thermal transfer printer

There are several technologies available today to perform quality coding and printing on packaging stamping elements such as bar codes, QR codes, expiration dates, batches, real-time time, graphics, images, logos and other information that need to be disclosed on the packaging of the goods.

One of these technologies is the thermal transfer printer, which transfers the desired content to the package through a ribbon. Also known as thermal transfer tape, it is a type of ink-coated plastic film that transfers information to the plastic as it passes through the heated thermal head.

With two sides – one covered with silicon and the other with ink – the ribbon is an economical solution both in materials and in cost.

Why The Thermal Transfer Printer Is More Efficient

The thermal printing speed reaches up to 450 impressions per minute, while in the hot stamping model, the limit is 120 impressions per minute.

Another advantage of using this technique for printing, in addition to the speed gain, is the reduction in consumption and waste when compared to changing the ribbon of a common date stamp that works with stamping mechanism and digits (hot stamping).

The ribbon, used in the thermal transfer printer, can be up to 650 m in length, which ensures more safety and efficiency in roll efficiency and contributes to productivity, since the larger ribbon length reduces downtime per stop to change the ribbon.

Using rolls and ribbons also increases uptime. When genuinely purchased, they extend the life of the print head of thermal printers, prevent rework and improve the quality of service, which is performed quickly and without errors.

The inadequate choice of ribbon in the application will inevitably lead to poor print quality, printer malfunction and early replacement of the print head.

The cost of the ribbon roll for the hot stamping model should also be noted, as the ribbon used in a thermal transfer printer can be equivalent to a 67% lower cost.

There are many benefits, and here you can check other differentials. Indumak has a range of thermal printers that offer all these advantages with the quality of those who lead the market in packaging solutions. Below, see details of this equipment.

Fun fact: did you know that the Indumak thermal printer comes with a heated base?

As an Indumak differential, the heated base is part of the IT 02, IT 03 and IT 05 dating sets, not being an option. It contributes so that, on cold days, when starting the machine, the print does not become weak, fail or even in some cases stop printing, ensuring full performance from the first package.
