Description
Thermal paper has a smooth, glossy surface that reacts chemically when heated by the thermal print head, producing an image. This technology eliminates the need for ink or toner, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for businesses. The paper itself consists of a base layer, typically made from high-quality wood pulp, coated with a mixture of dyes and developers. When the print head applies heat, the coating undergoes a chemical reaction that produces a sharp, clear image.
