Thermal Till Rolls And Lowering Business Costs

Essentially, thermal till rolls are simply an alternative to the conventional till roles which are widely used in stores throughout the world. The most noticeable features of thermal till rolls are:

*The paper used for thermal till roles contain a chemical which changes colour when exposed to heat.

*The paper has a shiny and smooth appearance.

*The overall roll length is slit to an extremely tight tolerance of just 3% of stated length.

*Because of the technology used in thermal printing, there’s no requirement for ink, ink ribbons or ink rollers.

*Although the cost per unit is marginally more expensive that conventional products, the overall operating costs remain lower, thus allowing businesses to reduce their running costs.

Thermal till roles are currently available in a variety of sizes ranging from 44×80 all the way up to the large 60x130x50 rolls used in ATM machines. Of course, all products have to pass stringent tests in order to ensure total reliability and performance. As with multi-ply paper rolls, thermal till rolls are also available in different standards, from cheap budget paper, all the way through to top quality A-grade paper.
