FAQs

What is a thermal transfer overprinter and how does it work?

A thermal transfer overprinter is a printing device that uses heat to transfer ink from a ribbon onto packaging materials, such as flexible films. The process involves a thermal print head that applies heat to the ribbon and then melts the ink and transfers it onto the substrate. TTOs are commonly used for high-speed printing of variable information like barcodes, expiration dates, and lot numbers on flexible packaging.
