Advantages and disadvantages of thermal printers

Compared with stylus printers, thermal printing has the advantages of fast speed, low noise, clear printing, and convenient use. However, thermal printers cannot directly print duplexes, and the printed receipts cannot be stored permanently. If the best thermal paper is used and protected from light, it can be stored for ten years. Stylus printing can print duplexes, and if a good ribbon is used, the printed receipts can be stored for a long time. However, the stylus printer has slow printing speed, high noise, and rough printing, and the ribbon needs to be replaced frequently. If users need to print invoices, it is recommended to use needle printing. When printing other documents, it is recommended to use thermal printing.
