Thermal Printing Heads costing you a fortune?

Consider this...

Thermal printing offers a quick, efficient and convenient method of printing variable data onto a wide variety of media, the down side of thermal printing is the fact that the thermal printing head responsible for transferring the image has a finite lifespan and does need to be replaced from time to time, in most cases these strategic spares are only available from the appointed printer dealer who is obliged to sell only OEM {Original Equipment Manufacturer} spares and as we all know exclusivity usually also means EXPENSIVE.

The good news is that we have managed to source a specialist Aftermarket manufacturer that offers OEM compatible print heads for a wide variety of popular printers including Avery, Zebra, IBM, TEC PAXAR, Datamax, SATO, Intermec, Seiko to name a few.

Their diverse array of printhead characteristics include: Dot density up to 300 dpi, Print speed up to 305mm per second {12 inches}, Resistor line location {edge, near edge etc}, Direct thermal or thermal transfer, PTC for preheating, NTC for overheating protection, DHC dot history control for consistent print quality at high speed, DLC coating for extended printhead life, Thick film or Thin film technology.

These are the defining differences between this manufacturer and it’s competitors thereby offering unequalled abrasive life of up to 100 Kilometers {4 times the rated wear life of their largest competitor} unequalled thermal life of 100 million pulses {double the stated pulse life of their largest competitor} 100% dot duty cycle for the highest print clarity and print accuracy, Gold wire bonds vs pressure contact between printed circuit board and substrate for greater signal integrity, TPH supplied with warranty, backed by 30 years experience in the industry…

All of this and they cost LESS than the printer agent OEM printhead ?
