Thick film thermal printhead
KD2006-DC10A
The KD2006-DC10A is a 24V standard thick film thermal printhead with a printing speed up to 6 inches / s that has been
developed mainly for label printer use .
zApplications
High speed label printer
High speed bar code printer
High speed ticket printer
Various high speed terminal printers
zFeatures
1) Newly developed thick-film fast respons e thermal elem ent is employed f or this serie s and 6 inches/s or 150 mm/s is
possible without thermal history control. It is possible to print 10 inches/s or 250 mm/s if external thermal history control
is used.
2) 150km life realized by attributing durable new protection film.
3) New partial glaze construction makes it compatibl e with the th ermal transfer application .
