The service life of the heat-sensitive label paper will be affected by a variety of factors, including but not limited to environmental conditions, use methods, storage methods, etc. Therefore, its specific service life is difficult to generalize, but a rough range can be derived from some common conditions and test results.
In general, the three thermal label paper has a longer service life than ordinary thermal label paper due to its special waterproof, oil-proof and scratch-proof properties. According to product descriptions and test reports on the market, some long-acting thermosensitive paper can even be stored for 8 years, 10 years, or even longer. However, these figures may be derived from testing under specific environmental conditions, and life in actual use may vary depending on the environment and conditions of use.
It is worth noting that the time that the writing of thermal paper remains clear is also closely related to the quality and uniformity of its protective layer. The protective layer absorbs some of the light that causes the chemical reaction of the heat-sensitive coating, thereby slowing the fading rate of the printing paper and protecting the thermal elements of the printer from damage. However, if the protective layer is not uniform, it may affect the protective effect of the thermal sensitive coating, and even cause the small particles of the protective layer to fall off during the printing process, affecting the print quality.
In addition, factors such as light, heat and humidity in the environment will also affect the handwriting preservation performance of thermal paper. Therefore, in the process of use, care should be taken to avoid exposing the heat-sensitive label paper to extreme environmental conditions to extend its service life.
In summary, the service life of the heat-sensitive label paper will be affected by a variety of factors, and the specific service life needs to be determined according to the actual situation. When selecting and using, factors such as environmental conditions, use methods, and storage methods should be fully considered to ensure that the label paper can remain clear and readable for a long time. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the selection of reliable quality products to improve the use effect and durability of label paper.
