Copy Life

- Room temperature between 18°C and 25°C
- Relative humidity of 40 to 60 percent
- Away from light
If the paper is not stored correctly, this can adversly affect the functionality of the thermal coating and lead to discoloration of the thermal coating or lack of contrast in the printed result.
Printability
Depending on the printing process used, it is possible to print both on the functional side and on the reverse side of Rollax thermal paper. Further information can be found under “Printing Recommendations for Rollax Thermal Paper.
Copy Life of Thermal Printing
The copy life of the thermal printing on standard thermal paper can only be guaranteed when the paper is stored under the prescribed conditions. Further details can be found under “Copy Life Declaration for Rollax Thermal Paper.” Contact with plastic wrappers containing plasticizers, adhesives, hand creams, oils, plasticizers, and liquids should be avoided.
Certification by Printer Manufacturers
Rollax works together with various manufacturers of thermal printers and thermal print heads in order to ensure the paper and devices are optimally aligned. Comprehensive testing is performed regularly to guarantee a long lifetime for the thermal printers and constant printout quality. Approvals for different grades exist from companies such as Epson, Brother, Toshiba, Dymo, HP, and etc...
