DIfference between thermal and bond rolls

Many people get confused as to what paper rolls they need for their printer. The main 2 types that you will see are thermal rolls and bond rolls. The difference between these 2 types of rolls is the way in which they create the image. Thermal rolls require no ink to create an image. The printers use heat to produce the desired image/text on the roll. For that reason thermal rolls are very sensitive to heat and friction. Bond /2 ply rolls use ribbons. Ribbons, in short, provide the ink to print on the roll. These rolls are much more like normal paper.
MIt can be quite difficult to tell the type of products apart if you are not sure what you are looking for. Thermal rolls are often described as having a "glossy" appearance. They also mark very easily as they are sensitive to heat/friction. To test whether a roll is thermal, run a finger nail along the surface. If they are thermal rolls it will leave a grey line.

Bond paper need to use ribbon to print, thermal paper no need, you can find more info on http://greatshinepaper.com. and For cash register machines, you need to check your machines firstly before buying rolls.
