A thermal printing matrix head, consisting essentially of a suitable combination of two adjacent thin film materials, is described for use in a pulsed electronbeam thermal non-impact printing system. The printing matrix is a sheet of fused silica glass; on the surface facing the vacuum is a target formed by thin film elements of platinum silicides, and on the surface facing the ambient atmosphere is a writing matrix formed by elements of copper diffused in the silica glass. The inner surfaces of the elements of the writing matrix contact the corresponding ele elements of the target matrix, while the outward surfaces contact the thermal paper, placed in ambient atmosphere.
