Outline of Thermal Print Head

We will stop accepting requests for thermal print head products on January 31, 2021. Please contact your sales representative for details.

"Thermal Print Head (TPH)" is a heat-generating head used for a thermal printer such as direct thermal printer and thermal transfer printer.
Thermal Print Head, which is manufactured by the thick film process, has excellent durabilities (abrasion, pulse and environmental resistance etc.).
We are the first manufacturer worldwide which estab- lished the commercialization of Side Face type as well as Bevel Side Face type successfully, using manufacturing and printing technology of high-precision screen masks which we have cultivated for years. Furthermore we have succeeded to develope and commercialize the new head type called Corner Surface type. Our technology has been and will keep developing consistently.

Main Features

• "Side face type" has heating elements on the side edge of the substrate and "Bevel type" on the bevel edge of the substrate. With this printing technology, printing with- out bending print media is possible./li>
• Mitani's TPH can print extremely-fine lines and at the same time has the world's largest heat quantity by our unique printing and firing technology. Stable printing is possible under severe conditions such as outdoors.

Main Uses

• Various types of cards including rewritable cards and IC cards
• Heavy paper such as cardboard, plastic, metal plate, etc. ・Hang-tag of apparels
• Bus numbered ticket
• Ticketing system of ski resort
• Parking system

Outline of Thermal Print Head

The new screen print technology of Mitani allows heating element to be placed on the rounded corner of the substrate. This, among others, improves the thermal responsive- ness and enables higher printing speed and accuracy. This new head is called Corner Sur- face type (CS). We developed CS product lines and they are now available on market.
