 |
| Flat glaze |
|
Used for direct thermal printing applications such as facsimile machines and
POS printers.
The glaze cross section of the heater element area is flat. |
|
 |
|
| Partial glaze |
|
Used for thermal transfer printing applications.
The glaze cross section shows a raised shape. |
|
 |
|
| Thin glaze |
|
| Though the cross section shows the same as partial glaze, the glaze layer
is thinner for quick heat response that is suitable for high-speed printing. |
|
 |
|
| Double partial glaze |
|
| The glaze under the heater element is peaked, providing more concentrated
media contact for higher heat transfer efficiency for high-quality printing. |
|
 |
|
| Fine glaze |
|
| This glaze is even more peaked than Double Partial Glaze. A more uniform glaze
surface improves print image consistency. |
|
 |
|
| Super fine glaze |
|
| With a thicker base glaze than Fine Glaze, it provides better heating efficiency. |
|
 |
|
| True glaze |
|
| This printhead positions the heater element on the real edge of the ceramic
substrate. It is suitable for full-color printing on non-flexible hard media,
such as plastic ID cards, Prepaid Cards, etc. |
|
 |
|
| Corner edge |
|
| This glaze is applied to the corner edge of a ceramic substrate, which reduces
the volume of the glaze. This provides outstanding heat response, making this
printhead applicable mainly for high-speed bar-code printing. |
