Intermittent and Continuous Modes of TTO Printer
Intermittent thermal transfer printing
Continuous thermal transfer printing
Intermittent Mode
Intermittent printing is used on machines where the tape transport is stop-and-go. The stop time (dwell) of the cycle is used for printing. Using a signal from the packaging machine, the real-time printing information is prepared, the print head lowers and moves over the area to be printed. When printing is complete, the film is released and the print head returns to the start position.
Continuous Mode
This is used on continuous flow machines. The packaging material is printed while the film is moving. After a signal from the packaging machine (e.g. a visible marking), the print head is pressed against the plate roller integrated into the holding frame and the printing process starts. After printing is complete, the print head returns to the start position. The print speed is automatically adjusted to produce a consistently clear print image.
