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.

We often get asked – “How can your rolls be any different? A paper roll is a paper roll”. And yes that is partly true. But often one thing that purchasers do not consider is that those cheap thermal or bond rolls could actually be doing damage to their printers.
The more abrasive a roll is the more likely the potential damage it could do. That is why we always ensure we only use the highest quality eftpos and till rolls. We had a client recently who came to us that had been importing rolls from Asia to use. These cheap rolls they had been importing had been damaging their printers and they had to replace the printer heads every 3 months! Luckily, we were able to provide them with high quality point of sale rolls that will not damage their printers. Though they were able to import those rolls quite cheaply, it ended up costing them far more.
So to those who have continuing issues with your till printers or any other – you may want to have a look at you roll purchases.

Hello there,
Welcome to the blog part of our site.
You may wonder why we have a blog.. What on earth would we be talking about that would be of any interest to you…?
Well, while we accept that thermal rolls are not the most thrilling subject in the world there are tons of other related topics that we can help you with. Whether that be some tips for selecting an Eftpos provider or some exciting new technology emerging from around the world in the realm of payments, we will bring you all the best parts worth reading.
But today, since this is our first blog post, we thought it would be worthwhile to briefly tell you what we do and why we do it.
As I have already referred to, we know thermal rolls for Eftpos and point of sale terminals are not hugely riveting. However, it came to our attention that when wanting to purchase these simple products it was terribly difficult. We trawled the Internet for a reliable and cost effective supplier with little luck. It seemed ridiculous that a good that was so essential could be so difficult to obtain cost effectively and easily.
And so we decided to launch Thermal Rolls Direct. A supplier to all who require a reliable and cost effective partner to source Eftpos and point of sale rolls, ensuring that your terminals are always up and running. Not only do we aim to provide you with the best product at the best price with the best service, but also we aim to put a smile on your face.
So there you have it. The first blog post. If you have any special roll requirements get in touch with us! Or even if you need some information about Eftpos or point for sale. We love to help anyone that we can.
Until Next time,
Hamish
