Thermal printers do not need to use consumables when printing, because paper and consumables are already integrated, which saves the price of purchasing consumables and the time to replace consumables, and this processing technology also requires costs , The purpose of the manufacturer is to make profit rather than charity. In this way, the cost of thermal paper is higher than that of ordinary paper, but it is not expensive in general.
Fortunately, you bought a thermal machine instead of a cartridge-type inkjet printer. If you buy a cartridge-type inkjet printer of the same price, the cost of printing a piece of information is close to one dollar, and the cost of printing a photo is more than 20 yuan. really expensive.
Compared with the ink cartridge type inkjet printer, the thermal machine is cheap and the consumables are also cheap. The major defects of the thermal machine are that it can only print in monochrome, the printing format is too small, and the printed content does not last for a long time (usually a few days). Oxidation disappeared after a month).
