Technical specifications

The difference between Near-Edge and Flat Head

The Toshiba B-EP4DL uses a Flat Head printhead. In general, Flat Head technology is appreciated for its good compatibility with various materials, cost-effectiveness and stable operation in direct thermal or standard thermal transfer applications. In comparison, Near-Edge technology is more common in applications oriented towards high speeds and better ribbon efficiency. For a mobile direct thermal printer like the B-EP4DL, choosing a Flat Head printhead is appropriate because it offers good clarity, reliability and predictable behavior in daily use.
