{"product_id":"the-archive-roll-a4-thermal-paper","title":"The Archive Roll | 4-Roll A4 Thermal Printing Paper, 210mm Semi-Gloss","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Is the Part Everyone Forgets to Buy. A portable thermal printer is only as useful as the roll inside it, and the wrong roll prints grey, curls at the edges or jams halfway through a batch of shipping labels. The Archive Roll is cut to 210mm in a semi-gloss finish, sized for the direct thermal printers that small operations actually use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect thermal printing works by heat rather than toner, which means there is no cartridge to replace and no warm-up cycle. The semi-gloss surface takes a dense, dark image that survives handling, taping and stacking. Print speed is rated to 20 pages per minute on compatible machines, so a run of address labels or a set of invoices clears in minutes rather than in batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper is single-sided, which is the standard for this printing method. The smooth face goes up, and that one detail prevents the most common complaint about thermal rolls. Four rolls arrive sealed and ready, enough for a couple of months of steady shipping for a small business, and enough for a full academic year in a home office or a classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermal print fades for two reasons, and both are avoidable. Heat accelerates the reaction that darkens the coating in the first place, so a receipt left on a car dashboard will grey out within weeks. Plasticisers, the softeners used in some vinyl binders, folders and document sleeves, migrate into the paper and bleach the image from contact. Stored in a box, a folder or a filing cabinet away from both, a thermal print holds for years. That is the whole of thermal paper care, and it is the reason these four rolls come sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInk runs out.
