We believe the gold wire bond provides for greater signal integrity and a longer life of the printhead. Our thermal printhead will use Gold wire bond between the printed circuit board and ceramic substrate.A 15% change in the value of resistance results in a printhead unable to function and print the required dot density. As a thermal printhead wears the value of resistance changes. The thick film technology allows for a reduction in resistance versus pressure contact technology.
Thick Film printheads use gold, insulating and resistive pastes which are screen printed onto a ceramic substrate.
This is not a rebuilt and not a re-manufactured Printhead - BRAND New and Made in the USA. This is a brand-new Zebra OEM Compatible Printhead. Our New Zebra compatible thermal printhead is available for shipment worldwide. Our OEM Compatible Printhead works in the following Zebra printer models: S 4M Installation: Temperature Settings may need Adjustments Environmental Protection: Resistive Pastes with Gold Circuitry
