Bunches of ReceiptsMany retailers are switching to thermal paper receipts because they print faster and save money. The receipt is printed on specialized paper upon which purchase information is heat transferred onto the receipt. While these thermal paper receipts get us out of the store faster, there is a downside. Thermal paper receipts fade quickly and consumers could be paying the price.

How to store your thermal paper receipts

  1. Thermal paper receipts must be stored in a cool dark place.  Excessive heat or Sunlight will fade your receipt faster than the normal rate.
  2. Keep away from oils and liquids.  Liquid spills on receipts will fade your receipts.
  3. Never laminate your receipts.  Heat during lamination could damage the thermal paper receipt beyond recognition.
  4. Always store your receipts in a manila folder and away from plastic items where oils could leach into the receipt and cause damage.
  5. Scanning thermal paper is the best option.  Any receipt that you may wish to keep long-term for warranty issues, income tax purposes, or high cost electronics in case of need to return, should be scanned into digital format or photocopied.

All in all, keeping digital copies of your thermal paper receipts is the best way to store them for long-term needs.

Thermal RollThere are several benefits to using thermal paper for your POS system. Thermal paper is something that is quite easy to use, and it is a product that has many advantages. It is important to understand what thermal paper is, and how it works. Thermal paper is paper that is coated with color forming elements, which produce the right type of image when the paper is heated. This indicates that heat plays an integral role in the printing process of thermal paper. When heat is transferred to the paper, the images are made. The printer has a head on it that helps to contain the heating elements and allows them to work correctly.

There are several advantages to using thermal paper with your POS printer

  • Reliability
  • Fewer occurrences of paper getting jammed, and of the machine not working correctly
  • Printing is clearer, and will be less likely to be smudged
  • Thermal paper is actually quite easy to manipulate
  • Printing speed
  • Resistant to water, oils, plastics and adhesives
  • Low maintenance costs because the printing process is non-impact, meaning that there aren’t actual printer ribbons to print on the paper.

When you are choosing thermal paper for your POS system, it is important that you look at the different types of thermal paper available. Remember that thermal paper can be used for just about anything – ticketing, banking and financial, kiosks, gaming and wagering, transportation, parking, and of course, POS.
