The production date of the thermal printer is to use the temperature of the characters to transfer the toner of the thermal printing ribbon to the object to be printed, or use a special metal hot stamping plate to heat and press the hot stamping foil Transfer to the surface of the printing material. Thermal printing technology has been upgraded from simple transfer to today's smart technology.
The advantages of hot stamping technology mainly include the following points.
(1) Good quality, high precision, clear and sharp edge of hot stamping image.
(2) The surface gloss is high, and the hot stamping pattern is bright and smooth.
(3) The hot stamping foil has a wide range of options, such as stamping foils of different colors, stamping foils with different gloss effects, and stamping foils suitable for different substrates.
(4) The hot stamping process has another outstanding advantage, that is, it can be used for three-dimensional stamping. The three-dimensional hot stamping plate is made by the computer numerical control engraving (CNC) method, so that the graphics and texts processed by the hot stamping have obvious three-dimensional layers, forming a relief effect on the surface of the printed matter, and producing a strong visual impact effect. Three-dimensional hot stamping can make the packaging have a unique touch.
It is precisely because the hot stamping process has many of the above advantages that it has been favored by users and consumers and has a wide range of applications. However, the hot stamping process requires special equipment, a heating device, and the production of hot stamping plates. Therefore, obtaining high-quality hot stamping results also means paying a higher cost.
