Thick film thermal printhead
KD3006-DC92A
KD3006-DC92A is developing type of GL40 se ries which are de veloped mainly of label printers.
We have adopted low coefficient of abrasio n and c ond uctive pr otect ion co at to GL40 seri es which are possib le for h igh sp eed and
good printing quality.
That is KD3006-DC92A which is 24V standard thick film therm al print head with high spee d, high qu ality of p rinting, h igh dura bility ,
long life, and strong resistance to abration.
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 response thermal element is employed for this series and 4 inches/s or 100 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 .
