Printer heads
Printer heads
Printer head is a component necessary for the proper operation of the equipment – in fact, one of the most crucial. It is he who is responsible for the direct transfer of the print to the surface of the material – thermal paper or plain paper with additional tracing paper – and thus also the print quality itself.
Due to the fact that it is a heavily used part of the printer during operation, its regular maintenance is necessary. You cannot forget about proper use – proper adjustment of the head pressure or reaching only for original consumables.
However, it is worth remembering that even in the case of high-end devices from reputable manufacturers, printer heads will wear out over time, and you will simply have to replace them with new ones. It should not be underestimated – a defective head may lead to the failure of another element of the printer, and also significantly reduce the quality of the printout.
Printer heads
Printer heads are available in a wide range of prices and many different variants. Each of them is adapted to different requirements and, of course, a specific model of equipment. When it comes to label printers, there are currently two types of print heads on sale. What to choose?
- Flat printer heads – the basic element of barcode printers, positioned horizontally to the thermal transfer ribbon. They offer a wide selection of tapes. Used with the use of appropriate parameters and materials, they ensure very good print quality and a long service life.
- Edge printer heads – Also known as floating heads, this is a more advanced form of flathead found only in plastic card printers. A characteristic feature is the automatic, automatic adjustment of the head position to the thickness of consumables. The overprint is applied on the basis of sublimation – that is, the desired colours are evaporated into the surface of the card. This technique is only used in plastic card printers. Then they are covered by the head with a special laminate to protect against premature fading. The target look of the card is obtained by acquiring the appropriate colours from the red, yellow and blue colour palette.
