Thermal printing is defined as a digital printing process that utilises heat from a thermal print head to produce an image or text on chemically treated paper, also termed as thermal or thermo chromic paper. There are two main types of thermal printers, namely, direct thermal printers and thermal transfer printers. In direct thermal printers, heat sensitive or thermal paper is used, wherein characters are printed onto the thermal paper by applying varying amounts of heat. Thermal transfer printers use ribbon as their cartridges. Thermal paper is fed through the slot located between the roller and the print head and the heat then melts the substance present in the ribbon and prints the character onto the paper.
