Thermal Transfer Over/ Ribbon Printers
High Quality Results
Thermal Transfer Printing
Thermal Transfer Over (TTO) or Ribbon Printers employ heat to transmit ink from a ribbon to various materials. The printing process entails positioning a plastic ribbon coated with ink between the print head and the material to be printed. As the print head heats the ribbon, the ink melts and bonds with the material. This ink's durability and longevity surpass that of other printing methods, making it perfect for creating labels, barcodes, and other high-quality printed materials that require resistance to wear and tear. TTO printing offers a reliable and effective printing method that produces outstanding, fade-resistant, and smudge-free results.
The Kortho TT Series
The TT32 has a maximum print area of 32 x 60 mm. Even if the print surface is uneven, bumpy, or sloped, the TT-Series printhead compensates for any imperfections by following the print surface trajectory at a constant pressure.
The TT53 has a maximum print area of 53 x 200 mm. Even if the print surface is uneven, bumpy, or sloped, the TT-Series printhead compensates for any imperfections by following the print surface trajectory at a constant pressure.
The TT107 has a maximum print area of 107 x 200 mm. Even if the print surface is uneven, bumpy, or sloped, the TT-Series printhead compensates for any imperfections by following the print surface trajectory at a constant pressure.
Thermal Transfer Over Printing in Your Industry
Food
TTO printers are commonly used for printing expiration dates, lot numbers, and other important information directly onto food packaging materials such as flexible films, pouches, and labels. They are preferred in the food industry due to their high-resolution printing capabilities, fast printing speeds, and low maintenance requirements. They can also use food-grade, non-toxic ink, making them safe for use with food products.
Packaging
TTO printers excel at printing variable data and can accommodate a diverse array of substrates such as metallic and plastic films, paper, and labels. Known for their dependability, versatility, and user-friendliness, these printers are a favored choice across numerous industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
Barcodes
TTO printers are used extensively for printing precise, high-quality barcodes, leveraging thermal transfer technology to create durable, scannable barcodes resistant to smudging and fading. These printers can generate both 1D and 2D barcodes, such as QR codes and data matrix codes. TTO printers are favoured in industries where product traceability and inventory management are crucial.
