A thermal transfer printer is a printer that prints on paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with Direct Thermal printing where no ribbon is present in the process.
Usage of Thermal Transfer printers in industry includes:
As the label and ribbon are driven beneath the printhead together, tiny pixels across the width of the printhead are heated and cooled so as to melt the "ink" off the polyester film and onto the label. This process happens very fast and explains the fast speed of the printers and is immediately drying. Thermal ones printheads are frequently 203 dots per inch (8 dots per millimeter) or dpi 300 (12 dots per millimeter). Although some manufacturers leave now 600 dpi printers very small bar codes for electronic industries (view within the battery room of your mobile telephone.) produce ways of high print rates the sticker printers became very highly developed, if efficient processors and large storage capacities are printed with the same speed to let them produce the sticker pictures, like the compression matter. To achieve this speed, almost all thermal label printers use special internal description languages to allow the label to be laid out inside the printers’ memory prior to printing. Each manufacturer has its own language and some is very complicated and difficult to also work. E.G., in order to print a bar code on a sticker, send the steering computer a row code to the printer would please for certain bar code a kind and specifies its size and position on the sticker, together with as bar code to be printed the data. The printer used then pre-determined algorithms to design over bar code and keeps very exclusive for dissolution, by printhead, which cause optimum bar code on this certain kind of the printer one leaves. Barcodes have very strict rules for accurate printing, to ensure readability in a wide range of circumstances.

- Barcode labels or for marking clothing labels.
- Printing plastic labels for chemical containers
