• Printers that use a special heating element to make a print. In these devices, printing is carried out only when using a specially designed heat-sensitive tape.
• Thermal transfer printer. Its main difference is its compatibility with different types of paper. A special ink application mechanism helps to achieve this due to the high temperature of the machine’s print head.
