Thermal printing is a printing method that does not use ink, ribbons or toner. Instead, the image is formed solely through heat activation. The print head heats the surface of the label material, which is coated with a special coating. This coating reacts to heat by turning black.
Glossary
thickness
Thickness is usually the distance between two parallel surfaces, from one surface to another. Usually expressed in mils (thousandths of an inch) or microns. Usually measured with a special device under slight pressure.
topcoat
Topcoat is a physical surface coating applied to improve the adhesion of ink or toner during printing. Each printing technology (thermal transfer, laser, inkjet, digital) has its own type of surface coating. In addition to improving print quality, surface coating is used to change the visual characteristics of surfaces.
UL 224
UL 224 standard specifies requirements, including flammability, for insulating tubing, which is usually round in cross-section and consists entirely of extruded components. These requirements also cover heat-shrinkable and crosslinked tubing.
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is a global organization focused on ensuring that products meet the requirements of various manufacturers, retailers and consumers, as well as the requirements of other regulatory organizations. Over the past hundred years, UL has developed more than a thousand safety standards to protect consumers. The organization regularly tests millions of products to ensure safety and quality.
