Market Overview
Thermal paper is a heat-activated specialty paper that changes color when heat is applied to it. This paper is created by using dyes and developers that are heat-sensitive. It is used in thermal printers, specifically in cost-effective or lightweight devices such as including equipment, sales register, and also credit card terminals.
During the manufacturing process, these dyes and developers are applied in varying ways, depending on the manufacturer. However, there are some processing similarities that all thermal papers share.
Thermal paper is designed to eliminate the need to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on ink cartridges over the lifespan of your printer. This paper is most commonly used for printing receipts, invoices, packing lists, and delivery documents. Printers that use thermal paper do not require the use of any ink whatsoever.
The thermal paper acts as a recording media to be printed through a thermal printer via heat. Images are created through the direct transfer of thermal energy onto this paper. The demand for thermal papers will increase with their growing use in making lottery and gaming tickets.
Widespread acceptance in the printing and packaging industry due to its high mobility, noise reduction, and full graphics capability is the key industrial parameter for the thermal paper market demand.
