Regarding the printing of thermal receipts, are you still stuck in the impression that the thermal receipts printed are all monochrome? Now the thermal printer can print two-color thermal receipts. What is the principle of this? The thermal two-color printer can achieve two-color printing mainly relying on special thermal print heads and thermal printing paper.

 There are multiple semiconductor heating elements installed in the thermal print head, which can be individually controlled and heated as needed. Thermal printing paper has a special coating that will show different colors when heated at different temperatures.

When it is necessary to print two-color content, the thermal printer accurately controls the heating temperature and time of different heating elements through the control circuit. Specifically, when it is necessary to print one color, the corresponding heating element will be heated to a certain temperature, causing the coating on the thermal paper to change color; when it is necessary to print another color, the other heating element will be heated at a different temperature, thereby producing another color pattern on the thermal paper.

In this way, the thermal two-color printer can print text and images of different colors on the same thermal paper. This technology not only improves the flexibility and diversity of printing, but also makes the printing process more efficient and convenient.

What are the advantages of two-color bills over monochrome bills?

Thermal two-color bills have advantages over monochrome bills in many aspects, and these advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Color richness:

Two-color printers are able to provide printouts in two colors, while monochrome printers can usually only print one color (usually black). Two-color printers can print more color details and patterns, making the printed content more colorful.

Visual appeal:

Color content is generally more visually appealing than monochrome content. In applications such as marketing materials, labels, receipts, tickets, etc., two-color printing can attract more attention and improve the efficiency of information communication.

Information expression:

In some cases, two-color printing can express information more effectively. For example, by using different colors to distinguish different parts or emphasize important information, the content can be made easier to understand and recognize.

Brand recognition:

Enterprises can use two-color printing to display their brand logo or specific color schemes to enhance brand recognition. This is very important for building brand image and conveying brand value.

Personalization:

Two-color printers can provide personalized printouts for different users. For example, when printing receipts, different colors can be used to distinguish different customers or orders, making management more convenient.

Wide application:

Two-color printers are suitable for a variety of application scenarios, including retail, medical, logistics, manufacturing, etc. In these areas, two-color printing can provide more detailed and accurate information, improve work efficiency and accuracy.

Future compatibility:

As technology develops, more color options may be added to thermal printers in the future. Therefore, choosing a two-color printer can provide greater flexibility for future expansion and upgrades.

Cost-effectiveness:

Although the initial cost of a two-color printer may be slightly higher than that of a monochrome printer, the investment is usually worth it considering the advantages it brings in terms of visual appeal, information expression ability, and brand recognition. In addition, with the advancement of technology and the intensification of market competition, the cost of two-color printers is also constantly decreasing.

In summary, thermal two-color printers have obvious advantages over monochrome printers in terms of color richness, visual appeal, information expression, brand recognition, personalization, wide application, future compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.
