Introduction
Thermal paper plays a crucial role in businesses that rely on POS systems, cash registers, and credit card machines. However, not all thermal paper is created equal. Understanding the quality of thermal paper can help you avoid issues like faded prints, paper jams, and premature degradation. In this article, we’ll explore four key indicators to judge the quality of thermal paper.
1. Coating and Sensitivity
A high-quality thermal paper roll has a uniform and smooth coating that reacts efficiently to heat. The better the coating, the clearer and sharper the prints will be. Poor-quality paper may require higher heat, leading to faster printer wear and increased maintenance costs.
2. Durability and Image Retention
Thermal receipts should remain legible over time, especially for businesses that require long-term record-keeping. Low-grade thermal paper tends to fade quickly when exposed to heat, humidity, or light. High-quality paper, like MilaMima 3 1/8" x 225' Thermal Paper Rolls, ensures lasting print clarity and durability.
3. BPA-Free and Safety Standards
Choosing BPA-free thermal paper is essential for businesses prioritizing customer health and environmental safety. MilaMima’s BPA-free options, such as the 2 1/4" x 60' and 2 5/16" x 400' thermal paper rolls, offer a safer and eco-friendly alternative without compromising print quality.
4. Compatibility and Performance
A premium thermal paper roll should be compatible with various POS systems, credit card terminals, and gas station receipt printers. Compatibility issues can cause printer malfunctions and additional expenses. MilaMima’s thermal paper rolls are designed to fit leading brands like Epson, Star Micronics, Verifone, Ingenico, Square, Clover, and Moneris.
