A Thermal printers use print wires that are heated in the thermal printer so that they can burn dot patterns into special thermal paper, while thermal wax printers use thermal printhead to melt dots of wax-based ink from the transfer ribbon onto the paper. When the wax is cool, it is permanently attached to the page. Unlike direct thermal printer, the thermal wax printer does not require special paper to print on.
