FAQs About thermal paper
What is thermal paper?
It’s a heat-sensitive paper that produces images when heated by a thermal printhead—no ink or ribbon required.
What are the typical applications?
Primarily for POS receipts, credit card slips, tickets, shipping labels, ATM receipts, and quick-print labels.
