In this video we want to show you how the thermal transfer print works.
As a premiere we will show you the brand-new printer TT431.
And you will see how you can get the perfect print results.

The big advantage of the thermal transfer print is …
... the high quality and the option to print on many materials and different products.
The result:
It is good readable and it is high resistant against fluids and all liquids and abrasion.
We often get the question: How does thermal transfer print work?
We at HellermannTyton we don't talk - we demonstrate.
First we take the ribbon off.
Here at the printhead there are many dots inside, ...
... producing a lot of heat so the black colour transfers to the material.
Let me explain.
If this is the printhead, ...
... there on the line are many little dots.
And this little dot is many times here on the printhead.
One dot is about 1 millimeter.
We have in total 12 dots on one little millimeter.
So that is the reason why you can make wonderful results by printing with thermal transfer printer.
What is the difference between thermal direct printing and thermal transfer printing?
I show you. First I have in my pocket an old receipt.
So this receipt is only thermal sensitive paper, ...
… but after short while in UV light you can not read any data.
Completly different is thermal transfer printing.
But for this test I need a little bit more space.
So come on, let's do a big test.
The first test is: Scratch resistance.
We get some markers and now we rubber with the nails really on the colour.
Perfect. We do a second test with some alcohol pads.
We scratch and scratch and scratch for a very long time like the industry does the test.
What you can see: If you use the right ribbon you get perfect solutions .
For our customers we offer different wide ribbons.
For small roles we have a small ribbons and for wide rolls we have wide ribbons.
So there are also different qualities.
We have wax, we have self-laminating labels, ...
... we have ribbons with raisin, which is very scratch-resistant and liquid-resistant.
And then we have scratch-resistant and fluid-resistant and for high-temperature applications different kind of ribbons.
With ribbon and materials it is like with marriage: Only when both fit perfect together it last long.
And now ladies and gentlemen:
I promised you a premiere.
This is our brand-new printer TT431, ...
... a printer for small and middle volume and if you don't change material so often.
Like our industrial printer also the little printer has now a colour touch display.
With this colour touch display you can select different languages and different options.
So it's absolutely user-friendly.
For our printer TT431 you can also order a perforator and a cutter.
With a cutter you can perfectly cut each heat shrink in the same size ...
... so it's perfectly cutted.
If you like to perforate you can perforate each part separately.
So this is the difference between cutting and perforating.
Finally I want to advise our software TagPrint Pro.
With this software you can easily create templates for all the different products.
