Thermal Printers: Frequently Asked Questions

What does a thermal printer do?

A thermal printer prints by applying heat to special thermal paper or labels instead of using ink. It is fast, quiet and ideal for receipts, shipping labels and barcodes.

Can thermal printers print receipts?

Yes. Receipt printing is the most common use. POS models such as the Epson TM series print sharp receipts in seconds and connect to your till or POS system.

Do you need to refill a thermal printer?

No. Thermal printers have no ink or toner to refill. You only replace the roll of thermal paper or labels when it runs out.

Can I use normal A4 paper in a thermal printer?

No. A thermal printer needs heat-sensitive thermal paper or labels. Normal paper will not show any print.

How long will thermal print last?

Direct thermal prints fade over time, faster in heat and sunlight, which is fine for receipts and shipping labels. For long-lasting labels choose a thermal transfer printer or laminated tapes.

Is it worth getting a thermal printer?

Yes, if you print receipts or labels often. There is no ink to buy, printing is very fast and running costs are low.

What is the downside of a thermal printer?

Prints on direct thermal paper can fade over time and most models print in one colour only. For documents that must last for years, a laser printer is the better choice.
