What is the basic concept of colored thermosensitive synthetic paper?

The basic concept of colored thermosensitive synthetic paper can be understood from the following aspects:

1、 Material and construction

Color thermosensitive synthetic paper is mainly composed of two layers: substrate and thermosensitive coating. The substrate is usually made of high-quality paper or plastic film (such as BOPP biaxially oriented polypropylene film), which provides the basic strength and stability of the paper. Thermal sensitive coatings are key functional layers that contain special thermal sensitive chemicals that undergo color changes when exposed to heat.

2、 Working principle

The working principle of colored thermal sensitive synthetic paper is based on thermal printing technology. When the heating element of the thermal print head applies heat to a specific area of the paper, the thermal coating in that area undergoes a chemical reaction, resulting in a color change. This color change is immediate and does not require additional ink or ribbon. By precisely controlling the temperature and time of the heating element, high-quality color images or text can be formed on paper.

3、 Characteristics and advantages

Instant: Color thermal synthetic paper allows for instant printing of color images or text without waiting for ink to dry or undergoing other post-processing.

High quality: Through advanced thermal printing technology, clear and delicate color images or text can be obtained on paper.

Environmental friendliness: Compared to traditional inkjet or laser printing, color thermal synthetic paper generates less waste during production and use, and is usually easier to recycle and reuse.

Durability: Although the durability of colored thermal sensitive synthetic paper may vary depending on the specific material and coating, high-quality synthetic paper typically has good water resistance, oil resistance, and light resistance.

4、 Application fields

Color thermal sensitive synthetic paper has been widely used in multiple fields due to its unique properties and advantages. For example, in the retail industry, it is often used as receipt paper to provide more intuitive and readable transaction information. In the field of logistics and warehousing, colored thermosensitive synthetic paper is used as label paper to mark the information and status of goods. In addition, it is widely used in fields such as catering, healthcare, and education.

In summary, colored thermosensitive synthetic paper is a paper material that combines special substrates and thermosensitive printing technology. It has the characteristics of immediacy, high quality, environmental friendliness, and durability, and has been widely used in multiple fields.
