Near edge thermal printhead
(with thermal historical control)
SH2004-DC70A
SH-DC70 series was developed with two key structures step-free and near edge for the packaging printer market which
requires high speed continuous printing. It is suitable for printers in factory line where high speed 24 hours continuous
printing is required.
zApplications
Bar code printer
Label printer
Packaging printer
ATM
Ticket printer
zFeatures
1) ROHM new technology “STEP FREE” structure will provide, high corrosion resistance, better resistance against
scratching damage, high ef ficiency.
2) Head inclination by near-edge structure, applicable to the la rge -size pl aten. Re sin ty pe therma l-tran sfe r ink-ribb on can
be used.
3) High-hardness protect cote type “W-coat” is employed with 150km abrasion life-time.
4) A buil t in history-contro l functionality, high-speed printing up to 300mm / s can be achieved w ith clear print image.
