What are the ways to store thermal paper?

To store thermal paper correctly, follow these guidelines:

Avoid direct sunlight: Exposure of thermal paper to sunlight can cause the thermal coating on the paper to deteriorate, causing print quality issues. Thermal paper should be stored in a dark or shaded area.

Keep the temperature right: Extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) can also affect the chemical properties of thermal paper. Ideally, store paper in a temperature-controlled environment away from heaters, air conditioners, or other sources of heat or cold.

Control humidity: Excessive humidity can cause moisture absorption, which can damage the heat-sensitive coating on the paper. It is recommended to store thermal paper in a dry environment with a relative humidity of about 40-50%.

Avoid contact with chemicals: Thermal paper should be stored away from any chemicals or substances that may cause degradation. This includes solvents, oils, cleaners and adhesives.

Use the correct packaging: If the thermal paper comes in a sealed package, it is best to keep it in the original packaging until ready to use. If the original packaging has been opened, transfer the paper to a protective container or bag for extra protection from light, humidity, and contaminants.

Following the storage guidelines above will help ensure that your thermal paper stays in good condition and produces high-quality prints when used.
