Thermal paper rolls are common in different application areas. These application areas include cash registers, point-of-sale systems, and credit card terminals, among others.
In general, these application areas feature a huge amount of printing. Therefore, using non-thermal printers in such areas would result in higher expenses relating to the maintenance of such printers, replacing printer cartridges, and refilling ink.
For that reason, thermal paper rolls are most preferred at retail outlets, the banking sector, and even at government offices.
