Why use a heat transfer barcode printer instead of an office printer
Edit： Click： Times Date：2025-11-10
Why use heat transfer printing, and how is heat transfer printing generated?
Because there are many labels, they must be able to withstand the test of time, remain unchanged for a long time, store the text for a long time, not fade, not wear out due to contact with solvents, not deform or change color due to high temperatures, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to use a special material for printing media and printing materials to ensure these characteristics. General inkjet printing technology cannot achieve this, laser printing cannot achieve it, and the needle printing effect cannot meet the requirements of the original design. Therefore, thermal transfer printing technology emerged. Heat transfer printing technology, in simple terms, is the use of specialized carbon ribbons to transfer the carbon powder coating on the ribbon to paper or other materials through a heating method similar to the working principle of a fax machine print head. Due to the choice of coating material on the carbon ribbon as needed, strong adhesion is generated, and the selection of printing medium ensures that the printed handwriting is not affected by external factors. And the heating process, how to heat it, can be controlled by a computer. Due to the development of various specialized software for printing labels, it is very convenient for users, especially for general labels that need to generate barcodes. Therefore, the generation of barcode symbols has become an essential tool for such software.
The general printer design is usually designed for A4 paper size. Some people have to order separately in order to print labels on such paper, which is very uneconomical. Moreover, for factories, they sometimes have to print thousands of sheets per hour, which cannot be completed by existing printers on the market. Therefore, a printer that can print continuously and quickly on small paper has emerged. For common ARGOX printers on the market, they can print up to 10 meters in length per minute. If a label is 2 centimeters high, it can print 500 sheets per minute. A dedicated label printer is not only that, but it also meets the needs of factories. It can be operated independently by combining a scanner or keyboard, and does not necessarily require a personal computer to operate. Just like a photo printer, it can directly read data without relying on a computer, saving the factory additional investment.
Advantages of barcode printing:
1. It can print in small quantities without causing waste, even with just one sheet
2. Utilize the advantages of barcodes and use them in conjunction with scanning guns to reduce manual processing time and lower costs
3. You can print various graphics according to your needs, especially the company logo and certified markings
4. Can print serial numbers and track products
5. Can connect to the company database for quick extraction and printing of information
6. It can be used on production lines to track product production at any time and avoid excess materials
7. Can be applied to warehouse management to keep track of the latest inventory at any time
8. It can print train tickets or various receipts, with fast speed and higher quality
9. You can choose labels with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, or strong adhesive properties for printing according to your needs
10. It can print very quickly, with a maximum speed of 15 centimeters per second
11. With the use of a cutting knife, it can be cut immediately, making it ideal for tickets
12. Computer editing, printing content, and printing effects are no less impressive than printing
13. Utilize system integration solutions, using barcode labels as a medium, to comprehensively enhance procurement, production, warehousing, logistics
Sales and other management systems
Why general printers cannot replace thermal transfer barcode printers
Take a look at these labels, are they suitable for placement in a regular printer paper tray
Packaging: wheat head label, postal package, letter packaging, transportation goods labeling, envelope address label.
Electrical appliances: internal labels for mobile phones, various electrical appliance labels, laptop labels, and mechanical and electrical product labels.
Products: price labels, product description labels, shelf labels, barcode labels, drug labels.
Management: Book labels, vehicle inspection labels, security check labels, property labels.
Office: Document and document labels, archive storage labels, various item and stationery labels.
Production: Raw material labeling, processed product labeling, finished product labeling, inventory management labeling.
Chemical industry: labeling of paint materials, packaging labeling of gasoline and engine oil products, and labeling of various special solvent products.
Other: anti-counterfeiting labels, encrypted labels, anti-theft labels.
Clothing labels: clothing tags, washed labels.
Product tags: Jewelry tags, tags that are not easily attached to the product.
Airport: boarding pass, luggage tag.
Train tickets: train tickets, movie tickets, tickets, movie tickets.
Other: Parking lot tickets, highway toll tickets, etc.
Advantages of label printers:
1. Fast printing speed: A typical printer can only print up to ten sheets of paper per minute, while a label printer can print over 300 labels per minute
2. A paper feeding device designed specifically for printing labels: with a roll shape as the feeding form, it can print continuously after thousands of sheets of paper are loaded.
3. Printing by heat transfer printing: By selecting suitable materials, it is possible to achieve scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, even solvent resistance, and so on.
4. The special paper feeding method can print tickets, hang tags, and other special specifications of paper.
5. It can be printed on fabric.
6. Professional steel structure, suitable for continuous printing for several hours.
