Frequently Asked Questions
Which dimensions are needed to match a thermal paper roll?
Provide roll width, outer diameter or required length, core inner diameter, thermal side and printer model. Matching only the width is not enough to confirm compatibility.
Are all thermal paper rolls BPA-free or phenol-free?
No. These are grade-specific chemical declarations. Request the required option before ordering and confirm it in the documentation for the exact supplied grade.
How should thermal rolls be stored and how long does the image last?
Image life varies by grade and exposure. Store rolls away from heat, sunlight, moisture, plasticizers and aggressive chemicals, and request the relevant storage and image-retention data when long-term records are required.
