WARNING: There
are different qualities of thermal paper available. Be careful with low
priced thermal paper. We highly discourage using bad quality thermal
paper. A cheaper quality thermal paper produces much lighter prints, and
the print fades from the paper much quicker. Some people increase the
print density on their printers to compensate for the lack of darkness,
however, this is bad advice and will severely shorten the life span of
your thermal printer by burning out the thermal head. Fixing or
replacing your printer is not worth it just to save a couple bucks on
paper.
Our premium quality thermal paper is triple coated and produces a nice dark black color. The
first coating is a base coat which make the base paper more flat and
easier for the next layer of coating. The second coating is the active
coating
which is the most import coating for thermal paper. The active coat is
where the image printing occurs. The last coating layer is a protective
layer on the top of the paper. It protects the print image, but
some buyers only care about the price and recently facilities began
applying only the second layer on to base paper, which makes the printed
image
appear light and shortens the life span. This is where customers
complain that the image fades very
soon. Please keep in mind our warning when shopping for thermal paper.
