How to prevent the handwriting on thermal label paper from disappearing?

To prevent the handwriting on thermal label paper from disappearing, the following measures can be taken:

1、 Choose the appropriate thermal paper

Paper quality: Choosing high-quality and durable thermal label paper can significantly reduce the possibility of fading. Good thermal paper can be stored for a longer time, some even up to 30 years or longer.

Special coating: Consider using thermal paper with waterproof, oil resistant, scratch resistant and other characteristics, such as genuine three proof paper. This type of paper can maintain the clarity of printed content even in harsh environments.

2、 Correct printing and saving methods

Avoid high temperature and direct sunlight: The handwriting on thermal paper is prone to fading under high temperature and direct sunlight. Therefore, the printed thermal label paper should be placed in a dark and cool place, away from heat sources.

Control humidity: Keep the environment dry and avoid excessive humidity that can cause paper to become damp, thereby affecting the clarity of printed content.

Avoid contact with chemicals: Thermal paper should avoid direct contact with chemicals, as certain chemicals may damage the coating on the surface of the paper and cause the printed content to fade.

3、 Proper packaging and storage

Use transparent plastic bags or folders: Seal and package the printed thermal label paper in a transparent plastic bag or folder to effectively prevent dust and other pollutants from entering.

Layered stacking: For thermal label paper that has already been printed, it should be stacked in layers to avoid excessive weight causing glue penetration and adhesion, which can affect storage effectiveness.

Sealed packaging: After each use, the remaining thermal label paper should be resealed and packaged to maintain its good storage condition.

4、 Regular inspection and maintenance

Check printing equipment: Regularly inspect and clean printing equipment to ensure its cleanliness and normal operation, and avoid a decrease in printing quality caused by equipment problems.

Pay attention to paper quality: During the printing process, pay attention to the quality changes of thermal label paper. If unclear printing or uneven color is found, the paper should be replaced or the equipment should be checked in a timely manner.

5、 Other precautions

Avoid glue sticking: For non stick printing paper, avoid using glue or transparent adhesive as these methods may accelerate the disappearance of handwriting.

Choose an appropriate printer: If you need to store labels or documents for a long time, you can consider using a heat transfer label machine/printer or inkjet, laser printer, etc. These machines print images with more durability.

Timely backup: If the information on thermal paper is very important, it is recommended to take photos or scan and save them in a timely manner, just in case.

By taking the above measures, it is possible to effectively prevent the disappearance of handwriting on thermal label paper, extend its storage time, and ensure the clarity and readability of printed content.
