The TT print head for thermal transfer printers precisely controls the heat development and the contact between the ribbon and the label in order to achieve an accurate and clear print quality. The heat and pressure must be sufficient to melt and transfer the colour without damaging the label.
Printheads are usually durable, but with intensive use and lack of maintenance, they can wear out or become damaged. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the printhead to maintain optimum print quality.
It is important to maintain the print head according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a long service life and good print quality. Regular cleaning and replacement of the ribbon and the use of compatible materials are essential to protect the print head from contamination and damage.
