Thermal Paper: The Smart Printing Revolution Without Ink
2025-02-11
I. What is thermal paper?
Thermal paper is a special paper that develops color through a thermal coating without
the use of ink or ribbon,
and instantly develops text, barcodes,
and graphics under the heat of a thermal printhead.
2.Key indicators of shelf life
Light stability: UV protective coating allows labels to be kept in a light environment for 3 years without fading (ordinary paper only 3 months)
Thermal stability: high temperature resistant coating prevents pre-development due to heat sources in the storage environment (passed 60°C/72h accelerated aging test)
Chemical resistance: Resistant to penetration of alcohol, oil and grease (meets ISO 18916 durability standard for imaging materials)
3.Environmental safety certification
BPA Free: Phenolic color developer (e.g. Pergafast® 201), REACH approved, FDA approved
FSC certified: substrates from sustainably managed forests
Recyclability: some models support delamination and recycling (separation of the thermal layer from the substrate)
1.Ultimate Efficiency
Ready-to-print: eliminates ink replacement, ribbon installation and other operations, increasing printing speed by 40% (compared to traditional pin printing)
Quiet operation: no noise, suitable for hospitals, libraries and other quiet scenes.
2.Cost optimization
3.Precise Adaptation
Flexible size: support from 20mm narrow strip to 210mm wide web customization
Slitting process: precise control of paper tension to avoid paper jams (tolerance ±0.1mm)
4.Intelligent Extension
Pre-printing function: pre-printing of enterprise LOGO, anti-counterfeiting watermark or two-dimensional code underline
Multi-link design: realize multi-links on one paper through carbonless rewriting technology (e.g. customer link + warehouse link of express face sheet)
5.Scene compatibility
Extreme environment tolerance:Refrigerated environment (-25℃): low-temperature development formula is adopted
High temperature and high humidity (85%RH): lamination and moisture-proof treatment
1.Retail & Catering
Smart CashierSystem: Automatic printing of promotional coupons + membership point code
E-invoice QR code direct to tax platform
Backroom Labeling Management: Grease-resistant thermal labeling (ingredient shelf life tracking)
2.Logistics and Supply Chain
Intelligent Face Sheet System: Thermal transfer + thermal dual-mode compatibility (to meet the needs of ordinary face sheets and highly durable labels)
Invisible barcode technology: synchronized printing of visible information and hidden anti-counterfeiting code.
3.Medical and Healthcare
Specialized paper for diagnostic reports: Medical grade antimicrobial coating (ISO 11137 sterilization certification)
High-precision grayscale development (supports X-ray film annotation printing)
4.Industrial Manufacturing
Equipment operation log: Chemical-resistant coating (resists penetration of machine oil and cutting fluid)
Ten-year archive-grade preservation (compliant with GMP document management specifications)
Four-step selection method
Scenario: outdoor use choose film moisture-proof type, food contact choose BPA Free type.
Measure the equipment: Confirm the resolution of the printer's hot head (200dpi/300dpi for different paper bases).
Calculate the cost: Economy: 58g/m² standard paper (short-term storage needs)
Long-lasting: 65g/m² laminated paper (5-year archival requirement)
Check the qualification: require suppliers to provide SGS test report and batch traceability number

Poor quality thermal paper risk warning
Incomplete color development: uneven coating leads to the lack of strokes in the printed text
Rapid color fading: key information disappears after one month of storage (leading to legal disputes)
Equipment damage: paper dust clogging the print head (repair costs up to 30% of the equipment price)
Case: A convenience store chain upgrade program
Pain point: queuing at the checkout counter during peak hours, blurred handwriting on small bills triggered customer complaints

Program: 80mm wide width high-sensitive paper (0.8 seconds / sheet printing speed)
Double-sided anti-fade coating (to improve the small ticket retention rate)
Effectiveness: Cashier efficiency increased by 25%, labor cost savings of ¥ 120,000 / year
Customer complaint rate decreased by 18%, NPS score increased by 32 points

| level | material composition | functionality |
|---|---|---|
| base layer | High purity wood pulp paper or synthetic paper | Provides paper strength and flatness |
| pre-coated | Silicon dioxide/calcium carbonate mixture | Uniform heat transfer for improved color clarity |
| thermal layer | Colorless dyes + color developer (BPA/BPA Free) | A chemical reaction occurs when heat is applied to produce an image |
| protective layer | Scratch-resistant resin coating | Prevents oxidization and color fading, extends shelf life |
2.the core technical parameters of thermal paper
| level | Color rendering temperature range | Applicable equipment | typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| high sensitivity | 80-120℃ | Portable handheld printers | Delivery tickets, logistics manifests |
| medium sensitivity | 120-150℃ | Desktop ticket printer | POS cash register, ATM vouchers |
| low sensitivity | 150-220℃ | Industrial Grade High Speed Printer | Medical test reports, storage labels |
