Technical specifications

The difference between Near-Edge and Flat Head

The Toshiba B-FP3D 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 printing applications. In comparison, Near-Edge technology is mainly found in thermal transfer applications that aim for very high speeds and more efficient use of the Ribbon. For a mobile direct thermal printer like the B-FP3D, the choice of a Flat Head is natural, as the emphasis is on reliability, clarity and easy-to-manage consumables in daily use.
