Because far less printhead motion was involved than in a conventional dot matrix printer, these printers were much faster than dot matrix printers and were competitive in speed with formed-character line printers while also being able to print dot-matrix graphics as well as variable-sized characters.

As the label and ribbon are driven beneath the printhead together, tiny pixels across the width of the printhead are heated and cooled so as to melt the " ink " off the polyester film and onto the label.

An erasing mechanism is provided to positively drive the pins downwardly to erase the characters produced by the printhead.

A similar approach is used by Kodak, where the printhead intended for permanent use is nevertheless inexpensive and can be replaced by the user.

Most printers attempt to prevent this drying from occurring by covering the printhead nozzles with a rubber cap when the printer is not in use.

The printer will then use pre-defined algorithms to construct the barcode, keeping very strictly to the resolution allowed by the printhead, to create the best possible barcode on that particular type of printer.

Some printers have a fixed resolution across the printhead but with much smaller micro-stepping for the mechanical paper feed, resulting in non-uniform dot-overlapping printing resolutions like 600x1200 dpi.

Direct thermal printers use a printhead to generate heat that causes a chemical reaction in specially designed paper that turns the paper black.

The printhead sprays the ink on a rotating, oil coated drum.

To date, the most successful commercial application of microfluidics is the inkjet printhead.

The impact drivers are carried on a bi-directional printhead which travels beneath the movable pins.

The impact pins of the printhead were constrained to a minimum size ( for structural durability ), and dot densities above 100dpi merely caused adjacent dots to overlap.

By the mid 1980s, manufacturers had increased the pincount of the impact printhead from 9 pins to 18, or 24.

In the PC market, nearly all 9-pin printers printed at a defacto-standard vertical pitch of 9 / 72 inch ( per printhead pass, i. e. 8 lpi ).

Abrupt power losses, or unplugging the printer before it has capped the printhead, can cause the printhead to be left in an uncapped state.

To combat this drying, nearly all inkjet printers include a mechanism to reapply moisture to the printhead.

Typically there is no separate supply of pure ink-free solvent available to do this job, and so instead the ink itself is used to remoisten the printhead.

The printer attempts to fire all nozzles at once, and as the ink sprays out, some of it wicks across the printhead to the dry channels and partially softens the hardened ink.

After spraying, a rubber wiper blade is swept across the printhead to spread the moisture evenly across the printhead, and the jets are again all fired to dislodge any ink clumps blocking the channels.

They can print finer, smoother details through higher printhead resolution, and many consumer inkjets with photographic-quality printing are widely available.

The other one is solvent dye sublimation ink that can be used in XAAR, Spectra and Konica printhead wide format printers.
