      This is why I said it works well for text. I consider the lower quality well worth it since you don't have to deal with inkjet cartridges or toner, both being expensive and annoying, while ribbons are cheap and last a while. (DRM on HP and Cannon cartridges)

    I was curious for a second when I looked at the printer in my house. I was like, how does a machine print out things EXACTLY THE SAME. So I searched it up, and this video was just so perfect. The explanation is literally perfect. I undertsood everything single bit. Tysm. Great video.

      They are also super cheap to use, just bought a 24 pin one last year and have changed the ink once. (The ink is ~3$ a cartridge.) It also prints with pretty acceptable quality.

    Also worth mentioning that in thermal printing there exists a newer technology called thermal transfer which uses a black ribbon of ink and heat to transfer the ink to the paper/label.
    These produce higher quality and much longer lasting prints than direct thermal where the ink is in the paper itself as described in the video. But they're generally more expensive to buy and use.
    A positive thing about them is that most thermal transfer printers can operate in either thermal transfer or direct thermal mode, where it can still operate as a conventional thermal printer and use paper or labels which have the ink inside of it.

      You must understand:
      wax ribbon: for paper label. cheap. won't last long. For shipping label.
      resin ribbon: for plastic label or paper with smooth surface. Expensive. Scratch resistant, lasts longer. For actual product.
      some ribbons combine both traits
      there are colored ribbons. shiny gold/silver is just as expenive as other colors, if you pay more you got scammed
      Cheap printers rotate 1:1 with label roll even if there is only a small text in the middle of the label.
      True printers only rotate the ribbon when it prints.
      Print consecutive numbering, bar/qr codes or individual text on pre-printed labels. It can be used for Wine bottle labels.
      Watch out, some rolls are inkside in and some inkside out. csi and cso
      there are two types of cores. 25mm and smaller 12,7mm
      Toshiba rolls hit different.
      Toshiba is generally different.

    Fun fact, dot matrix printers are everywhere in China nowadays. Almost every bussiness owner have one in their office. But they are not used to print documents, the law requires that the invoices need to be printed on a special carbonless copy paper, only dotmatrix printer can do that. I just bought one last month, an Epson LQ-610K. I am suprised it's not that slow at all, however the noise is really huge.
