What is TTO technology (Thermal transfer technology)

TTO technology (Thermal transfer technology)

TTO technology (thermal transfer technology) is a printing method that transfers ink from a carbon strip to paper by thermal energy. Let me break it down for you:

1. Carbon belt: TTO carbon belt is a film with ink, usually composed of resin, wax and pigment. The ink melts under heat and is transferred to the paper.

2. Printing process:

- Conveyor belt: First, you need to place the items to be printed (such as bags, labels, etc.) on the conveyor belt.

- To the print head: The conveyor belt moves the item to the position of the print head.

- Heating print head: The heating element in the print head is activated by an electric current, generating heat energy.

- Ink transfer: Heat melts the ink in the carbon strip, which is then transferred to the surface by pressure. The ink is quickly cooled and fixed upon contact with the item.

Print effect: This creates a clear, long-lasting print effect on the item, such as characters, barcodes or QR codes.

3. Advantages:

- Durability: The results of TTO printing are durable and not prone to fading or damage.

- Wide range of applications: especially suitable for printing on plastic materials, such as food packaging bags, drug labels, etc.

- High-speed printing: TTO equipment can achieve high-speed printing, suitable for automated operation on the production line.

In short, TTO technology is an efficient and durable printing method suitable for a variety of application scenarios. If you have any other questions, feel free to keep asking!
