Thermal printheads can be categorized into three types based on their construction: flat-bed, edge-bed, and angled.
1. Flat-bed
This is the most commonly used type of thermal printhead. It is used for printing on paper and plastic films (such as PET and PVC).
2. Edge-bed
This type of printhead is suitable for printing on rigid media (such as plastic cards and other non-bending materials).
3. Angle
This type of printhead is suitable for high-speed printing of date codes, clothing hang tags, and other applications.
