Thermal Paper (often supplied in roll form, and sometimes referred to as an audit roll) is a special fine paper that is coated with a material formulated to change color locally when exposed to heat. It is used in thermal printers, particularly in inexpensive devices such as adding machines, cash registers, and credit card terminals and small, lightweight portable printers.
Roll Form: Thermal paper is commonly supplied in roll form, making it compatible with thermal printers that have a roll holder mechanism. The roll format allows for easy installation and continuous printing without the need for frequent paper replacement.
Customizability: Thermal paper can be customized to meet specific requirements. It is available in different widths, lengths, and core sizes to fit various types of thermal printers. Additionally, it can be pre-printed with logos, branding, or other customized designs to enhance brand identity.
Environmental Considerations: The environmental impact of thermal paper has been a topic of concern due to the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in some thermal coatings. However, BPA-free thermal paper options are now available, offering a more environmentally friendly choice.
Additionally, thermal paper can be recycled through specialized recycling processes that separate the thermal coating from the paper fiber.
Application Versatility: Thermal paper finds applications in a wide range of industries. It is commonly used in retail for printing receipts, in logistics for printing shipping labels, in healthcare for printing patient records, and in various other sectors where instant, reliable printing is required.
