Thermal roll paper is a special type of paper used in thermal printers and other types of plotters. It is unlike ordinary paper in that it's coated so that when heat is applied, the paper activates, changing color. This makes it ideal for machines in so-called Point of Sale (POS) systems, which are used to process sales in stores and restaurants.
There are several advantages to using thermal roll paper. A major advantage is that it creates sharp, readable instructions. This is significant for businesses, which can send customers accurate receipts for the products they buy. Another advantage of thermal roll paper is that it is fast and efficient, so it helps save time at the cash register, lessening the time customers spend in line.
There are several reasons why thermal roll paper is so prevalent in POS systems. First, it is cost-effective. Thermal printers that use this paper don’t require ink or toner, which can be costly to purchase. All of which is good for businesses looking to save money on the printing. Thermal roll paper is also simple to use and reload, making your checkout stand all the more efficient.
It is good business practice to understand the various sizes and types of thermal roll paper. It comes in sizes like 2 1/4 inches, 3 1/8 inches and 4 inches. A size requirement will vary, all contingent on the POS system. You have single-ply or 2-ply thermal roll paper and etc. And single-ply paper is thinner and cheaper, whereas two-ply paper is thicker and produces a duplicate receipt.
Thermal roll paper is more environmentally friendly than ordinary paper. Paper is regular, and is made from trees that are chopped down, which can harm the environment. Thermal roll paper is produced with greener materials, such as recycled paper, and has BPA free coatings. And it can be recycled, defying waste and saving the environment.
Proper storage is important to continue to keep thermal roll paper performing well. Keep it at room temperature and away from light and heat. This also prevents the paper from fading or changing colour. Take care to remove the paper without damaging the coating. When feeding the paper into a thermal printer follow the instructions for proper load and feeding so that the paper will load in and feed smoothly.
