RP203 Mini Thermal Printer with RS232 and TTL for Arduino and Raspberry

Thermal printing (or direct thermal printing) is a digital printing process that produces a printed image bypassing paper with a thermochromic coating, commonly known as thermal paper, over a print head consisting of tiny electrically heated elements. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.

Most thermal printers are monochrome (black and white) although some two-color designs exist.

Thermal transfer printing is a different method, using plain paper with a heat-sensitive ribbon instead of heat-sensitive paper, but using similar print heads.
