Most direct thermal papers require a protective topcoating.

By: Miki

The following OEM thermal papers have been tested by IBM Retail Store Solutions for use with IBM SureMark 4610 printers. This testing program only applies to the specific paper products listed below. IBM testing only confirms that use of these papers will not negatively affect the operating life of the various 4610 printer mechanisms, specifically only the thermal print head and thermal paper cutter blades in a controlled environment. IBM’s thermal paper testing does not warrant any other claims made by the paper manufacturer, including archive life and sensitivity, some of which are provided by the paper manufacturers and included for convenience in the "descriptions" column of the chart below. For specific paper information, please contact the manufacturer directly.

Most direct thermal papers require a protective topcoating to:

Reduce fading of the thermal image caused by exposure to UV light, water, oils, grease, lard, fats, plasticizers, and similar causes.

Provide improved printhead wear.

Reduce or eliminate residue from the thermal coating on the thermal printheads.

Provide better anchorage of flexographic printing inks applied to the thermal paper.

Focus the heat from the thermal printhead on the active coating.

Compared to thermal transfer, direct thermal is a simpler medium to use and more cost-effective because it only involves one consumable
