Infrared imaging study of printhead temperatures occurring during: Resistive ribbon thermal transfer printing
Abstract
An infrared imaging system has been employed to measure the thermal response of the printhead electrodes during resistive ribbon thermal transfer printing. This has proven to be a versatile tool for fast non-contact high spatial resolution temperature measurement, providing valuable information on the thermal stress upon the head materials and on the amount of energy flowing into the head during printing. © 1986, SPIE.
