Comparing Printing Technologies: The Advantages of Thermal Printing - Improving the POS Environment With Leading-Edge Printing
Overview Impact printing, once widely considered the Point-Of-Sale (POS) print method of choice, is losing ground rapidly to today's enhanced direct thermal printing methods. Retailers first adopted impact printing technology because it offered an economic, versatile printing option that worked with virtually any paper type, including multipart forms. But impact printers can be noisy and can disrupt customer interactions at the POS. They also have slow print speeds, which can impede a retailer's ability to process customer transactions quickly. This white paper compares IBM thermal and impact printing capabilities, highlights the economic and customer-service advantages retailers can achieve by adopting a leading-edge thermal printing solution and presents the value of IBM thermal printing solutions.
