Thermal receipts are advantageous for businesses as they are quick, durable, and produced by plug-and-play printers. They are also cost-effective as they do not require toner or ink cartridges.
Almost every time a person transacts with a business, they will be provided with a receipt of some sort. Most businesses will use a printer to print receipts. The two most common types of paper that receipts are printed on are thermal and pre-printed. Providing customers with thermal receipts comes with several advantages. Among these advantages are that thermal receipts are produced quickly, the ink on thermal receipts lasts a long period of time, and they come from printers that are plug-and-play devices.
When a business provides a customer with a thermal receipt, it can do so in a very quick and silent manner. The receipts come from a thermal printer that uses heat or wax resin to produce the images on the receipt. Most thermal printers sync with a point of sale (POS) system, which allows the receipt to be printed as soon as the transaction is made. No customer wants to wait for a receipt for an extended period of time, so it is very important that all businesses consider providing customers with a thermal receipt.
Thermal receipts also have the ability to last a very long time, many times over 50 years. At one time, a thermal receipt could not last long due to distortion and/or fading, which was usually the result of thermal exposure to heat or long periods of light. As technology became more developed in the early 21st century, advances helped create thermal printers that could produce receipts with an extended period of durability.
One of the most advantageous aspects of thermal receipts is that they are produced from printers that are plug-and-play devices. These types of devices are compatible with almost any type of computer operating system. All the user has to do is plug it in and it automatically downloads the necessary software and drivers before it is ready to use.
Providing customers with thermal receipts also proves to be a very economical option for a large number of businesses. A thermal receipt comes from a printer that does not require toner, ink cartridges, or ribbons. Instead, use heat-sensitive paper, which tends to be more expensive than regular printing paper. However, thermal receipts still tend to be more cost effective than other types of receipts.
