Thermal cash register paper

Thermal cash register paper is a special type of print media that is coated with a layer of chemicals that change color when exposed to heat. When heated by a thermal printer, these chemicals react to display text or image information. This type of paper does not require the use of consumables such as ink or ribbons to complete the printing process, so it is widely used in many areas that require fast printing of small tickets, labels, etc.

Features

1. No ink cartridges required: Unlike traditional pin printers and inkjet printers, thermal printers utilize heat directly to produce images, eliminating the cost of replacing ink cartridges.

3. Inexpensive: In addition to the initial investment in purchasing the equipment, subsequent maintenance costs are low because there are no additional consumables such as ink cartridges that need to be replaced on a regular basis.
4. Compact size: thermal printers and their supporting the use of thermal paper are relatively lightweight and compact, ideal for use in places where space is limited.
5. High clarity: for bar codes, 2D codes and other fine patterns, thermal printing can provide better resolution to ensure the accuracy of scanning and reading.
