Printing control method of thermal transfer printer and thermal transfer printer

Abstract

The invention provides a printing control method of a thermal transfer printer and the thermal transfer printer. The thermal transfer printer includes a conveying device for conveying a printing medium, a printing head for printing the printing medium, and controlling the printing head to print The control device of the present invention, wherein the printing head performs printing by thermally transferring the ink on the ribbon to the printing medium, and the printing control method includes the following steps: the printing head performs printing on the printing medium according to the current printing content; when the printing medium moves a predetermined distance , the print head performs printing on the print medium again according to the current print content; the print head repeats the above steps in turn for the next print content. In the present invention, the ink on the ribbon is thermally transferred to the printing medium by the printing head, and the printing medium is moved a predetermined distance during the printing process and repeated printing is performed, which reduces the distance between each row of dot matrixes printed on the printing medium. The blank area between them improves the accuracy of the printed content and the quality of the printed product.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of thermal transfer printing, and more specifically relates to a printing control method of a thermal transfer printer and the thermal transfer printer. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of fast printing speed and long storage time, thermal transfer printers are widely used in various industries. Existing thermal transfer printers print by thermally transferring the ink on the ribbon to the print medium through the print head. However, the print heads of these thermal transfer printers heat the ink on the ribbon through dot-matrix heating points. When the ink on these ribbons is transferred to the printing medium, it is also dot-matrix. There are a large number of blank areas, resulting in low precision of printed products and poor printing quality. [0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a printing control method of a thermal transfer printer and a thermal transf...
