What is a piezo printhead?
A piezo printhead employs piezo material. When electric power is applied, the material deforms, generating pressure to eject ink onto the media.
What is a thermal printhead?
A thermal printhead utilizes thermal energy. By heating the ink, it creates vapor bubbles, propelling the ink onto the media.
What is the main distinction between these two printheads?
The key difference lies in the ink ejection mechanism. A piezo printhead propels ink by deforming piezo material through electrical power, while a thermal printhead propels ink by generating steam through ink heating.
