What are the technical characteristics of color thermal label paper?

The technical characteristics of color thermal label paper are mainly reflected in its material composition, printing principle, performance and application scenarios. The following is a detailed summary of the technical characteristics of color thermal label paper:

1. Material composition

High heat sensitive coating: The surface of the color thermal label paper is treated with a high heat sensitive thermal coating, which contains adhesives, color developing agents, colorless dyes and other ingredients. When the coating encounters the heated print head, it will undergo a chemical reaction and discolor, forming a graphic.

Paper base and adhesive layer: Color thermal label paper uses ordinary paper as the paper base to provide support. The back of the paper is coated with adhesive layer for pasting and fixing. The bottom is a layer of bottom paper, used to protect the adhesive layer, after printing the bottom paper can be used.

2. The printing principle

Thermal printing technology: Color thermal label paper uses thermal printing technology, through the printing head to heat the coating, so that the color development agent and colorless dye chemical reaction and change color. This technology enables the printing of high definition images and supports multiple color output.

No carbon tape: Color thermal label paper does not need to be used with carbon tape when used, which is convenient and cost-effective, and can save costs.

3. Performance

High definition printing: Color thermal label paper can realize the printing of high definition images, and supports a variety of color output, with stronger identification.

Strong durability: Some color thermal label paper is made of special materials, which has strong durability and can be used many times under normal circumstances. At the same time, some products also have waterproof, oil proof, anti-scratch and other characteristics.

Easy to operate: Color thermal label paper is simple to use and can be printed by thermal printer without complicated setup and operation process.

4. Application scenarios

Logistics industry: Color thermal label paper can be used to print express bills, logistics labels, etc., to improve logistics efficiency and accuracy.

Medical industry: Attaching color heat-sensitive labels to drug packaging and medical devices can realize the classification, management and traceability of drugs and devices.

Retail industry: Color thermal label paper can be used for price labels, promotional labels and product identification, etc., to improve the identification and sales effect of goods.

Other industries: Color thermal label paper is also widely used in office printing, automated printing, catering and entertainment and other fields.

5. Environmental and health considerations

Environmental protection: Some color thermal label paper is made of environmentally friendly materials, which has less impact on the environment. When choosing products, priority should be given to environmentally friendly products.

Health effects: Commercial thermal paper may contain chemicals such as bisphenol A, and prolonged exposure may have adverse health effects. Therefore, when choosing color thermal label paper, you should pay attention to the safety performance of the product and avoid long-term contact.

In summary, color thermal label paper is favored for its unique material composition, efficient printing principle, excellent performance and a wide range of application scenarios. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to environmental protection and health issues when using, and choose safe and environmentally friendly products.
