Thermal printing is the process of passing electrical current through resistive elements, configured in a linear array of dots. Each dot is in direct contact with a sensitive media – thermal foil. Heat from the energized dots, release ink form the foil, which is transferred onto the substrate where it cools and anchors to the substrate surface. [more]

Hot foil printing is a process in which heated type is pressed firmly against the item to be printed, with stamping foil between, for a set time. To produce a high quality, non-smudging, permanent print the three variable factors; pressure, temperature and time, must be accurately controlled.

There are two different Methods of Ink Jet Printing: The Continuous Ink Jet Printing and Drop on Demand (DoD) Technologie. [more]

What is Continuous Ink Jet Printing (CIJ)?

Ink is pressured by a ink supply pump and flow from the ink bottle to the nozzle. [more]

What is Drop on Demand (DoD)?

In the process of DoD the ink drops are only produced when they are needed for printing. [more]
