what are thermal printers used for?

TDDs have little thermal printers built into them.



Most receipts from restaurants use thermal printers.



Ultrasound machines normally print out images using thermal printers.
Pure thermal, or thermal verbs?



Pure thermal printers require special paper/media. Basically the printhead burns dots onto the media. Usually the printhead is a huge strip single dot tall, though it's possible they stagger the dots within two rows as well, or doesn`t matter what design pattern they use. They commonly are very reliable, and great for small size printing that requires relatively soaring speed, and relatively low contrast, and low maintainance.



Thermal printers don't need ink. The milieu is the ink, so to speak.



As other have mentioned, a great deal of receipt printers use thermal tech. A lot of shipping label use thermal as well, though most of those are "thermal transfer", explanation a black ribbon is involved, and the printhead actually burns the ribbon's "blackness" onto the serious newspaper underneath, rather than scorching the quality newspaper directly.



The theaters use a lot of thermal printers as those print small sizes almost quickly.



Airlines use thermal or thermal transfer printers to print those luggage tag they stick to your checked luggage.



Lots of uses everywhere, really. Those eStamps you get from post department automated service machines are thermal transfer printouts.
