Thermal paper has several disadvantages despite its convenience:
Short lifespan of prints – The printed image can fade over time, especially when exposed to heat, light, or friction.
Heat sensitivity – High temperatures can cause unwanted darkening or erase the print.
Limited color printing – Standard thermal paper can only print in one color (usually black), unless using special and more expensive multi-color types.
Chemical coating concerns – Some thermal papers use BPA or BPS in their coatings, which can raise environmental and health concerns.
Poor archival quality – Not suitable for long-term record keeping unless stored under controlled conditions.
Surface damage risk – Scratches or rubbing can damage the coating and remove the print.
Cost over time – Thermal paper is generally more expensive than plain paper, especially for high-quality, BPA-free varieties.

FAQ
1. What is thermal paper?
Thermal paper is a special fine paper coated with a heat-sensitive layer that changes color when exposed to heat. It is widely used in POS systems, cash registers, ATMs, barcode printers, and other devices that use thermal printing technology.
2. How does thermal paper work?
When the paper passes over a heated print head, the heat activates the coating, causing it to change color (usually to black). This eliminates the need for ink, toner, or ribbons.
3. What are the advantages of thermal paper?
No ink or ribbon required, reducing maintenance costs.
High-speed and quiet printing.
Clear and precise print quality.
Easy to load and handle.
4. How should thermal paper be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, and chemicals such as alcohol or solvents. This will help maintain print quality and extend shelf life.
5. How long does the print last on thermal paper?
Typically, under proper storage conditions, thermal prints can last from 3 to 7 years. Long-life thermal paper options are available for applications requiring extended record keeping.
