Thermal Paper Introduction

Thermal Paper is a specially coated printing paper designed to produce images or text when exposed to heat, without the need for ink or toner. With its smooth surface and sensitive coating, it ensures fast printing, sharp images, and clear readability. Thermal Paper is widely used in POS systems, cash registers, fax machines, logistics labels, medical reports, and tickets, offering reliable and cost-effective printing solutions.

One of its main advantages is high efficiency—printing is quick, quiet, and maintenance-free. At the same time, advanced coating technology provides excellent image stability, ensuring resistance against fading, smudging, and moisture. Depending on requirements, Thermal Paper can be produced in standard, top-coated, or long-life grades, each designed to meet different application needs.

Specification of Thermal Paper

Features of Thermal Paper

No ink or ribbon required
The thermal paper is coated with a heat-sensitive coating, which can be colored after heating, simplifying the printing process.
Fast color development
After the thermal print head is heated, the text or image appears almost instantly, which is suitable for fast printing needs.
High resolution
Thermal paper supports high-precision printing, suitable for printing clear small fonts and barcodes.
Environmental protection and safety
Some thermal papers use BPA-free (bisphenol A) coating, which is safer and more environmentally friendly.
Durability and preservation
The color-developing part of ordinary thermal paper may fade due to light, high temperature or friction, but high-quality thermal paper has a longer shelf life.
Multiple sizes and specifications
Thermal paper has different widths, lengths and thicknesses, suitable for various printing devices.
Cost-effective
Since no ink or ribbon is required, the cost of using thermal paper is low, which is suitable for high-frequency printing scenarios.
