5 THERMAL PRINTHEADS RACO Thermal Printheads Thermal printheads are the most critical and most expensive thermal printer component. They re consumables, like ribbons and labels, and require replacement after a period of time. Thermal transfer printing utilizes the technology of the fax machine thermal printhead, except that instead of printing onto paper with a thermo-sensitive coating to achieve a black image, the thermal transfer printer uses a thermo-sensitive pigmented ribbon. This means that print can be laid down on a wide variety of substrates i.e. paper, films, cartons, etc. and in different colors. Direct thermal printing requires a heat sensitive label material. The printhead elements come into direct contact with the heat sensitive material where the heat from the elements causes a color change in the material to create the printed image. The printhead itself consists of a large number of elements, encapsulated in ceramic, and terminating in contact with the ribbon. When these elements are selectively heated, they melt the coating on the ribbon, which is then transferred to the material to be printed. As the printhead is passed over the material and ribbon, a dot matrix is built up giving the shape to the text, barcodes or graphics that are required for the print format. Geniune OEM Brand RACO Barcode offers a wide selection of OEM thermal printheads from manufacturers such as Avery Dennison, Datamax, Godex, Honeywell, Intermec, SATO, TSC and Zebra. If you have a thermal printer in need of a printhead, regardless of the brand, we can help. OEM Compatible RACO Barcode offers a complete line of compatible thermal printheads manufactured in the U.S. Our printheads offer a hard protective coating that extends the abrasive life of our printheads by up to four times that of comparable products. Our printheads are engineered and manufactured with the same quality and performance specifications as the OEM brand. We offer direct replacements for a number of popular printer models.

6 COMPATIBLE TONER Manufactured for Superior Print Performance Now you can reduce expenses and maintain quality by using RACO Barcode s compatible toner cartridges.

You can be certain that our cartridges will keep up with technological advancements; RACO will always be the cost effective solution to your imaging needs. Free Nationwide Delivery RACO toner is stocked in warehouses across the U.S., ready to ship free of charge when you need it. All orders received by 2 p.m. EST ship the same day.

New Lifelong Drums We install a new, long-life drum in every cartridge for a more consistent level of print quality and page yield. We work directly with drum manufacturers to produce product to our exact specifications and do not accept factory seconds, knock-offs, or off-specification substitutions. Customized Toner Formulation Toner serves two purposes in the image production process: it is the actual material fused to the paper to create images and text, and it acts as a lubricant for the spinning drum. We use a superior formula specific to each cartridge type. Each cartridge type is matched with the best toner/drum combination to produce print quality and page yield that meets or exceeds the OEM cartridge is replaces. Every batch of toner is tested prior to manufacturing and at multiple stages throughout. All toners must meet our rigid standards, with formulations that are consistent with or exceed industry standards.

RACO will never compromise quality regardless of cost.
