Thermal paper is a type of paper that has a specialty coating that allows for inkless printing. When heat (via a thermal paper printer) is applied to the coating, the result is a sharp, clear image, without the need for ink or ribbons.
Printing on thermal paper provides speedy, reliable and high-definition images. The technology is used in a wide variety of sectors.
Thermal paper is widely used these days to print POS proofs of payment, ATM slips, gas pump receipts, toll gate and terminal tickets, entertainment coupons, plotting printouts, and numerous other data processing applications.
