Heat Transfer Printing: A Cutting-Edge Solution
Heat Transfer Printing labels eliminate the need for wet inks and solvents, thereby simplifying the printing process within a production facility. They can be used in conjunction with an injection molding machine and a heat transfer printer, which applies a dry, pre-printed image. There’s no need for any pre or post-treatment. This method allows for instant printing of high-definition images, logos, text, and nutritional information directly onto the wall of a bucket.
The process is automation-friendly and typically faster than other printing ways. Colors are applied all at once. The image feels dry to the touch right after application. Thus transfer thermal printing is a great and fast labeling technology that you don’t have to wait for it to fully dry before moving on to the next step.
