IMPACT PRINTERS
Impact Printers use a print head containing a number of metal pins which strike an inked ribbon placed between the print head and the paper.
A thermal printer (or direct thermal printer) produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.
