PlastyRibbons®

Thermal transfer, as its name suggests, is a process that basically involves three elements: the transferable material, heat and the printing substrate. In this case, the first element is the thermal transfer ribbon (hereafter referred to as CTT), also known as thermal transfer ribbon or TTR.

The second element, the heat, is provided by a head made up of tiny resistors placed in line which are controlled by a microprocessor and which we call the thermal head or print head.

The third element is the substrate on which the printing is to be carried out or the support receiving the thermal transfer, which can be paper or a synthetic element such as polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.

As a summary of the above we can say that the basic elements of heat transfer are three:

•  The ribbon or CTT
• The thermal head
• Receiving substrate

Application

The heat-sensitive transferable material comes into contact with the thermal head, which is heated at certain points, depending on the pattern to be printed. The material melts with the heat and becomes liquid for a small fraction of time, in the order of milliseconds, the material becomes liquid and is deposited on the printing substrate, solidifying instantly and creating a faithful reproduction of the printing pattern.
