Thermal printhead that prints barcode labels at ultra-high speed and with ultra-high resolution / ROHM Co., Ltd. -Macnica

What is ROHM's "thermal print head" that prints at ultra-high speed of 500mm/sec and with ultra-precise quality?

ROHM Co., Ltd. (Head office: Kyoto City) has developed a product that is ideal for barcode label printers used for label printing for logistics and inventory management. High-speed, highly reliable thermal printheads: "TE2004-QP1W00A (203dpi)" and "TE3004-TP1W00A (300dpi)" We have developed the following.
This new product has been significantly redesigned from previous models in terms of the board material, structure, and wiring pattern. In particular, the heating section, which affects printing speed and quality, has a new structure that uses ROHM's proprietary 3D processing technology. Printing speed is the fastest in the industry, approximately twice as fast as conventional products * Achieves 500mm/sec Did.
On this page, we will introduce the benefits that ROHM's new thermal print head brings to customers through short videos and materials. We will introduce it to you.

"Print barcode labels at the industry's fastest speed of 500 mm/sec! What is a thermal printhead that achieves superior print quality?" (video introduction: 2'45")

In recent years, the demand for logistics labels and inventory management labels has increased due to the growth of the e-commerce (EC) market and diverse consumer needs. However, conventional thermal head technology had a print speed limit of around 250mm/sec to 300mm/sec. ROHM has therefore developed a high-speed, highly reliable thermal printhead incorporating new structures and technologies, achieving high-speed, high-quality printing and high durability performance that exceeds conventional limits. We offer a diverse lineup to suit your needs.
