An in-line thermal transfer printer is the perfect solution if you are looking for durable, precise and cost-effective marking directly in the production line. With thermal transfer technology, you can mark products and packaging on the go without having to pause production. TTO printers transfer print using heat from an ink ribbon to materials such as plastic film, labels or cardboard, giving you sharp, durable and long-lasting results that last throughout the entire logistics chain.

TTO works best on flexible packaging materials such as plastic film, labels, cardboard and foil. It is a common choice for packaging in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
Yes, thermal transfer printing is highly durable and can withstand handling, friction and sometimes even chemicals and moisture, making it ideal for packaging exposed to harsh environments.
TTO printers require minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning of the print head and replacement of ribbons is important to ensure optimal performance and print quality.
Linx TT printers have an “intermittent print” feature that uses ribbon only where needed, reducing consumption and saving costs.
