ROHM step-free technology - the next evolution in thermal printheads.SH series: Ultra-high speed thermal printheads

Overview

ROHM offers high-performance thermal printheads capable of print speeds up to 1300mm/s

Featuring high image quality and superior reliability, ROHM thermal printheads utilize a revolutionary step-free structure, high heat-resistance protective glaze, and a new driver IC with fast thermal history, resulting in stable, ultra-fast high resolution printing up to 1300mm/s.   Original Step-free Structure
   
ROHM's novel step-free structure eliminates the step between the resistive elements and electrodes for better print quality, higher speeds, and longer life.  

Features

  • The novel step-free design, combined with a new near-edge structure, enables print speeds of up to 1,300mm/s.
  • Low friction surface process technology reduces susceptibility to friction and ESD, resulting in greater durability.
  • Superior contact between the printhead and media ensures high print quality, even at 1,300mm/s.
  Step-free Structure + Near Edge Design = High Speed Printing
