The main material used for small roll thermal label paper is thermal paper. The following is a detailed introduction to thermal paper:
1、 Basic characteristics
Thermal paper is a special type of paper that is coated with a colorless thermal coating on its surface. This layer of coating is mainly composed of colorants, color developers, and sensitizers, and has the characteristic of color development when heated. After being heated, the chemical substances in the coating of thermal paper will react, resulting in the display of color. This display color is mostly black, but can also be designed in other colors according to requirements.
2、 Working principle
The working principle of thermal paper is based on the hot spot of the thermal head directly contacting the thermal coating on the surface of the paper. When the thermal head is heated, its heating point will cause the chemical substances in the thermal coating to react, resulting in the display of color in the heated part. This printing method does not require the use of ink or ribbon, therefore it has the advantages of fast printing speed, low noise, and easy operation.
3、 Application scenarios
Small roll thermal label paper is widely used in various occasions that require fast and efficient printing of labels due to its unique printing method and convenience. For example, in the fields of logistics, inventory management, retail, etc., small roll thermal label paper is often used to print price labels, barcodes, product information labels, etc. In addition, due to its printing process not requiring ink or carbon ribbon, it also reduces environmental pollution and printing costs.
4、 Precautions
Storage environment: When storing thermal paper, it is necessary to avoid unfavorable environments such as high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight to avoid affecting its printing effect and storage time.
Print quality: During the printing process, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature and pressure of the thermal head are moderate to avoid poor printing results or damage to the thermal paper.
Usage period: Thermal paper has a certain usage period, and its printing effect may decrease after exceeding the period. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the production date and expiration date of the thermal paper before use.
In summary, small roll thermal label paper is a type of label paper that uses thermal paper as a printing material. It has the advantages of fast printing speed, low noise, and easy operation, and is widely used in various occasions that require fast and efficient printing of labels.
