Thermal printer paper, often referred to as thermal paper or receipt paper, is a type of paper designed for use in thermal printers. It is coated with a special chemical that reacts to heat, allowing the printer to create images or text without the need for ink or toner. When the thermal print head in the printer applies heat to the paper, it darkens the coated areas, producing the printed content. Thermal printer paper is commonly used for printing receipts, tickets, labels, and other documents in various industries, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, and logistics. It is valued for its speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in producing clear and durable prints, although it can be sensitive to heat and light exposure, which can cause fading over time.
