There are several variations when it comes to POS printers, thanks to modern technology. Each kind of POS printer has a different working process. If you require such a commercial printer and you are still wondering in which do you want to invest in, you need to understand their working principles.
Here is how some of the most common POS Printers work.
Label Printers
They mostly use plastic materials for their printing process, synthetic and paper polymers to be precise. Now there are different variations of such label printers such as thermal, impact laser printing techniques.
Thermal printers can again be divided into two different sub-categories. These include a direct thermal printer and thermal transfer printers. Thermal transfer printers are more in use because they have longer longevity and efficiency. The label stock has to be adjusted or changed from time to time.
Receipt Printers
These kinds of printers are the most used in the POS applications field. From retail shops to bank receipts, receipt printers are needed widely and are quite in demand for day-to-day functioning. For receipt printers, there are many variations again, which mainly include dot-matrix printers, thermal printers, and inkjet printers.
While inkjet printers are very efficient and can run on a budget as well, thermal printers are a better option as they are even faster in their work. And so they can help you clear the workload efficiently on a hectic day. However, these thermal printers are a bit costlier than inkjet printers. So if you have a good budget, definitely go for the thermal label or receipt printers.
Card Printers
Card Printers can also be of many kinds, depending upon the type of card you need. It is commonly an electronic device, much like a desktop printer. The different types of cards printed can be identity cards, credit cards, debit cards, telephone cards, health insurance cards, and driver’s license, and so on.
The printer consists of a thermal print head which consists of various color ribbons. The printing processes are thermal transfer, dye sublimation, thermal rewrite print, and reverse image technology.
