In recent years, the growth of the e-commerce market and the diversification of customer needs have increased the demand for labels in the logistics and inventory management sectors. However, conventional thermal printheads are limited to printing speeds ranging from 250 mm/s to 300 mm/s. In response, ROHM has developed high-speed, highly reliable thermal printheads that utilize innovative structures and technologies. The primary goal is to achieve a level of print quality and durability that surpasses conventional limitations.
The TE2004-QP1W00A (203 dpi) and TE3004-TP1W00A (300 dpi) significantly improve upon existing products in terms of substrate material, structure, and conductive network. Specifically, the thermal elements, which affect print speed and quality, feature a new design utilizing ROHM's original 3D processing technology to achieve an industry-leading print speed of 500 mm/s—approximately twice as fast as conventional products.
In addition, the application of a high-hardness, two-layer protective film to the printhead increases resistance to abrasion and static electricity for high-speed printing, as well as to corrosion caused by moisture and salt, thus considerably extending its service life.
In the future, ROHM will continue to improve the efficiency of label printing in various industries by applying these technologies to new products.
