Thermographic Printing Machine

Thermographic Printing Machines provide a raised lettering effect, as commonly seen in business cards and are widely used by the commercial printing industry. These machines also provide a less expensive alternative to foil stamping, embossing or UV coating.

Types of Thermal Printing Machines

• Direct Thermal Printing Machine: The process includes coating a paper with material that changes color on application of heat.
  
  
• Thermal Transfer Printing Machine: The process includes heating a waxy substance which melts onto a ribbon, which in turn melts on to the paper to form desired images. The process is also known as Thermal Ink Transfer Printing.
  
  

Thermographic Printing Process
These machines take thermography resin powder, sprinkle it over wet ink and bake it. This allows the powder to stick to the printed areas. Excess powder on non image areas is removed off the paper/substrate before the heating process. The sheet is finally cooled after the heating process and the melted powder hardens into raised thermographic image.
