Thermal Paper Rolls
Thermal paper rolls have a chemical coating which reacts to heat and changes colour when exposed to the sudden change in temperature to allow for ink less printing.
Thermal paper is primarily used for thermal printers where there is a need for fast and reliable printing in machines such as cash registers and credit card machines which produce receipts and tickets.
Furthermore, this paper solution is often recyclable, making it the perfect sustainable material which can be used across many industries.
Uses for Thermal Paper
Thermal is produced in many different qualities and formulations to meet the needs of different requirements in a wide range of industries.
Although thermal is commonly used for point of sale (POS) it is also used in many specialised fields such as healthcare and gaming tickets (lottery) where there is a reliance on high quality, accurate images. Thermal paper rolls are also heavily utilised throughout the transportation industry, most often used for train tickets and flight boarding passes.
Thermal printing is much faster than traditional printers making the service they provide more efficient and allows for higher volumes to be printed with less noise. Due to the printing speed, accuracy and cost efficiency of this solution, thermal paper rolls are a popular choice for many industries and end uses.
Different Types of Thermal Paper
Thermal can generally be split into a few key areas: POS, Gaming, Tickets, Labels and Medical/Scientific. Depending on the use there are top coated and non-top coated options which provide different durability.
