What effect does thermal transfer ribbon technology have on the thermal paper market?

At present, many thermal transfer ribbons are used for railway computer active ticketing, lottery machines, cash registers and label bar code printing. Taking railway computer ticket sales as an example, according to relevant industry figures, there are more than 5,000 stations in the country to undertake this business, requiring tens of thousands of ticket printers, and printing more than 1 billion tickets per year. It can be seen that the demand for thermal transfer ribbons in shopping malls is very large, and many companies are aiming at this opportunity and have achieved gratifying development.

Second, the application of thermal paper in China

Domestic thermal paper has also been in the communication fax, medical equipment and output printing for more than 20 years. In the late 1980s, in order to produce domestic thermal paper as soon as possible, domestic companies managed to purchase foreign patented skills and produced them from scratch. At present, the domestic production of thermal papers are Shandong, Changshu and Wuxi. The planning is small and the level is not high. Therefore, Japanese products are still mainly used in domestic thermal paper shopping malls.

Third, why the fax machine is subject to "difficult"

There are three reasons why a fax machine suffers from "depression": First, bisphenol A is a thermal paper color developer that is harmful to the human body during production or use. Taking into account the factors of environmental protection, people began to develop new products to replace, and with the advancement of science and technology, the world has introduced a thermal transfer ribbon fax machine, inkjet and laser fax machine using general paper. Secondly, thermal paper has high retention demand and short time, and can not be affected by moisture. The retention period before use is about 3 years, and it is only half a year or one year after application. Therefore, important data information of users has to be copied and reserved, which is very inconvenient. . Third, human beings have entered the era of network economy and information technology. Computer use has penetrated into various fields. APEC reporters use computer to publish articles without any exception. From words, photos to sounds, it can be quickly transmitted. No wonder, fax machines will now be doubled. Subject to "difficultness."

Market Analysis: At present, thermal paper still has a certain customer base in China, and there is a certain sales volume in the shopping mall. Due to the slow update of our equipment, it will continue with the livelihood of the general fax machine for a long time. In addition, thermal paper is not only convenient for communication fax, but also for medical instruments, such as electrocardiogram, various monitors, B-ultrasound, and various types of terminal printers. However, from the perspective of development, following the advancement of science and technology, the upgrading of equipment, and the entry into the WTO, the relationship with foreign countries is closer, the distance between domestic and foreign countries will gradually shrink, and the amount of thermal paper will also decline in China.
