Thermal Paper
Thermal paper is a heat-sensitive material used to produce images
in thermal printers,
such as receipts from cash registers, ATMs, and credit card
machines.
It works by using a heat-activated chemical coating that turns
black when exposed to the heat from a thermal printer,
forming the desired image without the need for ink. Common uses
include point-of-sale (POS) receipts,
medical charts, and labels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1What is the difference between thermal paper and normal paper?
The main difference between thermal paper and normal paper is the
way they are printed.
Thermal paper is printed using a thermal printer, which applies
heat and pressure to create an image or text,
while normal paper is printed using an inkjet or laser printer,
which applies ink or toner to the paper's surface.
Q2What are the disadvantages of thermal paper?
Printed images and text on thermal paper can fade over time,
especially when exposed to heat, sunlight,
or moisture. This makes thermal printing less suitable for
long-term archival purposes.
Q3 Can you put thermal paper in a regular printer?
This ultimately comes down to a question of “should you” rather
than “can you.”
Ultimately, it is possible to print on thermal paper using a
regular printer as long as the printer is able to handle the size
of the paper.
However, it is certainly not a good idea or something that you
should do. Why is this?
Q4 What is special about thermal paper?
Thermal paper, also called heat sensitive paper, is a special type
of paper that's coated with a heat-sensitive chemical formula.
Instead of relying on traditional ink or toner,
thermal paper harnesses the power of heat to produce high-quality
prints.
Q5 Can thermal paper print color?
How they work: Direct thermal printers employ specific color
thermal paper that works through heat hence offering colorful, full
colored prints.
Depending on where the paper heat is applied, various color
pigments are set, and this is how all those colors are obtained.
