Thermal paper is a specialty paper that changes color when subjected to heat, without the use of traditional ink. 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.

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.
You need three parameters to describe a paper roll size: Width, Diameter (or Length), and Core.
- For example, for 80mm x 70mm x 12mm thermal paper, the paper roll width is 80mm, the diameter is 70mm, and the core is 12 mm.
- Most American countries usually describe a paper roll size as “Width x Length x Core.” For example, 3 1/8″ x 230′ x 7/16″ paper roll means the paper roll width is 3 1/8″, the length is 230′, and the core is 7/16″.
