Does colored thermal sensitive synthetic paper require special treatment before printing?

Color thermal synthetic paper usually does not require special chemical or physical treatment before printing, but in order to ensure the best printing effect, there are still some preparation work and precautions that need to be followed:

Printing device selection:

Color thermal synthetic paper needs to be used in conjunction with a thermal printer, which heats the print head to chemically react the coating on the thermal paper, thereby displaying images and text.

Printing environment control:

Keeping the printing environment clean, dry, and controlled within an appropriate temperature range is beneficial for achieving stable printing results. Avoid printing operations in damp, dusty, or high/low temperature environments.

Preview before printing:

Before printing, perform a preview operation to check whether the layout, color, resolution, etc. of the design draft meet the requirements. Preview can avoid unnecessary waste and errors, ensuring that the printing effect meets expectations.

Printing parameter settings:

Set printing parameters correctly according to the requirements of the printer and the characteristics of the paper, such as printing temperature, printing speed, etc. The settings of these parameters have a direct impact on the printing effect, so arbitrary changes should be avoided.

Paper storage and protection:

Color thermal sensitive synthetic paper should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid moisture that may cause paper deformation or affect printing results. Meanwhile, avoid direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to polluted environments to prevent paper from fading or aging.

Film protection (optional):

For personalized printed products that require long-term preservation, lamination treatment can be considered to enhance their weather resistance and waterproof and oil resistant properties. This step is not necessary, but it can improve the durability of the printed product.

In summary, although color thermal synthetic paper does not require special chemical or physical treatment before printing, in order to ensure the best printing effect, it is still necessary to make preparations in terms of printing equipment, environment, parameter settings, and paper storage and protection.
