Description

Thermal paper card stock is a special printing material that consists of a thermal coating and a backing card. Thermal card stock can be printed using a thermal printer without the use of ink or ribbons. During the printing process, the print head of the thermal printer heats up the thermal coating, and the heat causes the coating to change color and form text, patterns, and so on. Thermal card stock is often used to make various types of cards such as membership cards, student ID cards, tickets, debit cards, etc. With the advantages of fast printing speed, good printing effect and colorfastness, thermal cardboard is widely used in various industries.

Thermal paper board is basically the recording medium that thermal printers print on. Thermal printers use heat to produce images when the thermal print head touches the surface of the thermal paper. The image in the printer is transferred by thermal energy, which changes the color of the thermal paper coating to black. Thermal printing can be done in small compact printers, and the printer can use 3 ⅛" thermal paper, 2 ¼" thermal paper rolls, and other thermal paper sizes.
