What Is the TTO Printer?

TTO stands for Thermal Transfer Overprinter, a printing technology that uses heat and ribbon to transfer ink onto flexible packaging materials like films and labels.

How TTO Works

• A thermal printhead heats up specific areas of a ribbon coated with ink.
• The heated ink transfers directly onto the packaging material.
• Prints are sharp, durable, and resistant to smudging or fading.

Advantages of TTO Printing

• High-resolution printing (up to 300 dpi)
• Suitable for variable data like expiry dates, batch codes, and barcodes
• Minimal waste and low operating costs
• Compatible with a wide range of flexible materials

TTO printers are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic packaging industries.
