In daily life, thermal paper is widely used in printers, cash registers and POS terminals. This special paper is locally heated to achieve the effect of printing images and text, and its printing quality and speed are quite excellent. However, since the paper is single-use, if there are print errors or unwanted content, we need to know how to eliminate them quickly.

Common method of eliminating characters on thermal sensitive paper

Use an eraser

If you write something wrong on the paper or have a bad impression, you can try to erase it with an eraser. However, before using the eraser, please pay attention to check whether the eraser you are using is suitable for thermal paper to avoid damage, and it should be noted that the use of the eraser is only suitable for the elimination of a small number of catch-up changes, and large areas of deletion is not easy to achieve.

Use white crayons

Another common solution is to use white crayons. Lightly apply white crayons to typographical errors or unwanted areas and erase them with an eraser. This method can accurately and clearly cover text and images. However, it is important to note that before printing, you must ensure that the crayon is completely dry and firmly adhered to the thermal paper to avoid accidents.

Use chemicals

Certain chemicals such as alcohol can be used to remove typographical errors or unwanted content from thermal paper. However, these chemicals are potentially harmful to health and the environment and must be used with care. Before using chemicals, be sure to read the relevant safety instructions carefully, wear personal protective equipment, and follow proper handling and handling methods.

Also, be aware that the use of chemicals may cause discoloration or surface damage to the paper. If you want to retain the information on the original thermal paper, it is recommended to copy it to ordinary white paper first, and then operate the copied paper to avoid affecting the original information.
