Thermal paper is a commonly used printing material, but it is susceptible to fading by environmental factors such as light, heat and humidity. In order to maintain the durability and quality of the printed content, we need to take some precautions. In this article, we will explore several ways to help you prevent the fading of thermal paper.
Storage environment: Ensure the thermal paper is stored in a dry, cool and avoid direct sunlight. Light and humidity are one of the main factors leading to the fading of heat-sensitive paper. Therefore, choosing the appropriate storage environment can effectively extend the service life of the thermal paper.
Use protection: After printing, cover the print with a transparent protective coating or cover film. This can help reduce the effects of light and oxygen on thermosensitive dyes, providing a layer of protection and extending the durability of the printed content.
Avoid friction and scraping: The print on thermal paper is prone to fade by friction and scraping. Therefore, be careful when handling thermal paper and avoid the use of sharp objects or rough surfaces in contact with it.
Use high quality thermal paper: Choose high quality thermal paper to provide better durability and printing quality. They are usually made with special coatings and materials to better protection against fading and fading problems.
Periodic backup and replication: If you need to save important prints for a long time, regular backup and replication is recommended. This way, you can use the backup copy even if the print on the thermal paper fades.
Please note the following points:
The durability and fade resistance of thermal paper can vary by brand and quality. Therefore, in selecting the thermal paper, please refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations and user feedback.
Some thermal paper may have special treatment requirements or use restrictions, please check the instructions and follow the instructions.
In short, with proper storage, use of protection, and selection of high quality thermal paper, you can effectively prevent the fading of thermal paper. These measures will help to maintain the clarity and durability of the printed content and extend the service life of the thermal paper. If you have more questions or need further help, please feel free to ask questions. Wish your printing experience more lasting and high-quality!
