Thermal printers, this type of high-efficiency printing device, have been widely used in many industries. Unlike traditional inkjet or laser printers, thermal printers do not require consumables, and can produce images and text on paper purely through thermal energy, providing convenient and high-efficiency printing.
Its working principle is very simple, which is to selectively heat the thermal paper’s areas to trigger chemical reactions in the paper and form sharp and clear images. This technology is not only suitable for high-capacity, monochrome printing, but also the ideal choice for many industries that emphasize speed and performance.
In the retail industry, thermal printers are widely used for printing receipts. The fast printing speed and low maintenance requirements make it a perfect tool for busy retail environments. At the same time, in the logistics and transportation industries, thermal printers are also used to produce shipping labels. In addition, thermal printers are commonly used for tickets and passes at event venues.
However, there are some limitations to using thermal printers. Due to its characteristics, thermal printers can only print in black and are suitable for monochrome printing only. The thermal paper may also degrade and fade over time or exposure to heat and light. If you want to archive the paper content, you need to make backup copies by photocopying.
