The difference between ordinary thermal paper and three-proof thermal paper

Printing materials play an increasingly important role in our lives. Thermal paper and three-proof thermal paper seats very common printing materials in the market is very concerned. However, many people are unclear about the difference between thermal paper and triple-proof thermal paper. This article will introduce the difference between the two.

Thermal paper works on the principle that the ink layer comes off under the heating of the print head, leaving text and patterns on the paper. This type of printing is easy to operate and fast and is used on many occasions.

In contrast, after special treatment based on thermal paper, three anti-thermal papers, through the paper surface coated with special materials, ensure that the printing effect simultaneously has superior physical properties.

So, what are the specific physical properties of three-proof thermal paper?

1. Waterproofing

 

With waterproof properties, the printed text and patterns do not easily fade and blur when encountering water, which is suitable for humid environments. For example, kitchen, laboratory, etc.

2. Oil-proofing

 

With the characteristics of oil proof, the print quality can be guaranteed even if the printing process accidentally touches oil substances and is widely used in catering, medical, and other industries.

3. Alcohol protection

 

With anti-alcohol properties, the print content does not easily disappear and discolor when encountering alcohol. They are usually used in laboratories, hospitals, and other places.

4. Scratch resistance

 

With anti-scratch characteristics, the printed content is still clearly visible when encountering scratches. I usually use it in logistics, transport, outdoor, and other places where friction is common.

5. With durability

Printed images and text, the content is still readable after a long time of storage. Suitable for places where documents need to be kept for a long time, such as invoices and receipts.

In addition, ordinary thermal paper is also susceptible to temperature, humidity, ultraviolet light, and other environmental factors, resulting in easy disappearance or fading of the printed content. The three-proof thermal paper also has heat resistance and light stability to avoid high temperatures or light irradiation resulting in damage to the print content. Therefore, ordinary thermal paper for the three anti-thermal papers, in terms of service life, anti-interference, and other disadvantages.

Taken together, ordinary paper is suitable for simple printing needs. Three-proof thermal paper is suitable for long-term storage and easy to meet the water, oil, alcohol, light, friction, and other environmental printing needs of the place of use. It should be noted that three-proof thermal paper is more durable than ordinary thermal paper, but in a special environment, there will be blurred print content.

In short, users should combine their use scenarios and other environmental factors when purchasing and choosing the printing material that suits them. For thermal paper and other questions, please consult our professional staff.
