Thermal printers are devices that produce printed images or text by applying heat to special thermal paper. They work by using a heated print head that activates the heat-sensitive coating on the paper, creating an image without the need for ink or toner. This makes them efficient and low-maintenance. These printers are commonly used in various applications, such as printing receipts, labels, and barcodes. Their compact size and fast printing speed make them popular in retail environments and logistics. Additionally, thermal printers are known for their reliability and ability to produce high-quality prints quickly.
