Do you know the specific size of thermal paper you need? Do you know what thermal paper sizes are more popular where you sell? Do you know what kind of printer the thermal paper you buy is suitable for? Next, we will analyze in detail the five size parameters of thermal paper that you need to know:
1. Thermal paper width:
It is crucial to know the width of thermal paper required by the customer because it directly affects the compatibility of the
thermal printer and the layout of the thermal printed content. If the width is wrong, the paper will not fit into the printer. Unsuitable
thermal printer paper not only does not match your printer, but may also cause paper jams, printing failures, and equipment damage. So how to measure the thermal printer paper width and choose the appropriate thermal paper? To measure, use a tape measure or ruler to measure along the width of the roll, from one edge of the roll to the other, making sure the tool is parallel and reads the size accurately. Widths are usually recorded in millimeters (mm), making sure the measurement is accurate helps in selecting the appropriate paper.
2. Thermal paper roll length:
Understanding the length of thermal paper roll is important because it determines how long the paper roll will be used and how often it needs to be replaced, but it is not a critical measurement. The appropriate length ensures that the printer does not need to frequently replace the thermal paper rolls during long printing tasks, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing operational interruptions. Long paper rolls are suitable for environments that require high-volume printing, such as the retail and logistics industries, which can reduce paper waste and replacement costs.
On the other hand, if the paper roll length is not suitable for the printer's design, it may cause the paper roll to run out prematurely, affecting print continuity and quality. Therefore, choosing a thermal paper length that is compatible with your printer can ensure a smooth and efficient printing process.
3. Thermal paper roll diameter:
It is important to understand the diameter of the thermal paper because it directly affects whether the paper roll can fit into the printer. The diameter of the paper roll determines whether it can be successfully installed in the printer's paper bin and cannot be too large or too small. An improper diameter may cause the thermal paper roll to not be positioned correctly, causing paper jams or printing interruptions. The appropriate thermal roll paper diameter ensures that the paper roll thermal can operate normally in the printer, avoids frequent replacement of roll thermal paper, and improves work efficiency.
In addition, the diameter also affects the capacity and storage space of the thermal printer paper roll. A larger diameter means more paper, reducing the need for frequent replacement, thereby reducing the cost of paper usage. When purchasing thermal printing paper, be sure to identify the maximum and minimum diameter roll paper thermal suitable for your printer to avoid mismatch. If you want to measure the diameter of the thermal receipt paper, you need to place the paper thermal roll on a stable surface, make sure the center axis of the rollo thermal paper is aligned, and then measure the tape measure or ruler from one side of the outer edge of the paper roll to the other side. Precise measurements.
4. Tube core diameter:
The core diameter is the inner diameter of the hollow shaft in the center of the
thermal printer paper rolls, which affects the installation and compatibility of the thermal receipt paper rolls。Generally speaking, the tube core diameter is
12mm or 25mm. The core diameter of the paper rolls thermal directly affects the operating stability and life of the printer. The correct core diameter ensures that the paper roll moves smoothly inside the printer, avoiding equipment wear or failure caused by improper paper roll diameter. So understanding and choosing the right core diameter is crucial to ensuring a smooth, efficient and economical printing process.
5. Paper weight for thermal paper:
The weight of pos thermal paper refers to the weight of paper per square meter, measured in grams (g). Grammage is a measure of paper thickness and density, affecting its strength, durability and suitability.
Higher grammage direct thermal paper are generally thicker and more durable, making them suitable for applications that require greater durability, such as
receipts or
labels that are stored for long periods of time.Lightweight thermal paper are thinner and more suitable for short-term use or one-time printing.
Appropriate weight can ensure that the paper is not easy to tear or deform during the printing process, while providing clear printing results and a long service life. Choosing the right grammage also optimizes cost effectiveness and ensures the paper meets the needs of a specific application.
There are still many standard thermal paper size on the market, such as
57mm x 30mm thermal paper rolls，
57 x 38mm thermal paper rolls,
57mm x 40mm thermal paper rolls,
57mm x 50mm thermal paper rolls,
thermal paper roll 80mm x 70mm,
80 x 80 thermal paper, etc. These sizes are widely used in portable devices and small printers and can meet different printing needs.
