Thermal paper is a specialty paper that changes color when subjected to heat without the use of traditional ink or ribbon. This effect is achieved by coating the paper with heat-sensitive dyes and developers during the manufacturing process. You can check this infographic to have a complete understanding of what thermal paper is and how it works.
A thermal print head consists of a multitude of miniature heating elements distributed along its printing width. It is commonly used to produce receipts in Point Of Sale (POS) printers, ATMs, cash registers and EFTPOS terminals.

As thermal paper is coated with chemicals that allow the activation of the chemicals to produce a specific color (usually black) when put in contact with a heat source. So the easiest way to identify thermal paper and woodfree paper is scratching the paper surface with your fingernails on double side. If the paper surface turns black, it is thermal paper, otherwise it is woodfree paper.
We usually need four parameters to describe a paper roll size: width, diameter, length, and core. Paper roll sizes can be described in the following formats:
- width x diameter x core
- width x length x core
Here are some examples:
- For the paper roll size 80mm x 70mm x 13mm, where 80mm represents the paper width, 70mm represents the paper roll diameter, and 13mm represents the core size.
- In the case of the paper roll size 3 1/8″ x 230′ x 7/16″, the paper roll width is 3 1/8″, the paper length is 230′, and the core size is 7/16″
