Advantage of thermal print head:
Different from ink-jet and laser printers, thermal printers are less noisy, ink-free, cleaner and do not require large ink cartridges. Therefore, thermal printers are mainly used for printing bar code labels, retail receipts, POS(Point of Sale) machines and fax machines in food packaging, logistics, quality management and medical fields.
