Printer paper is the paper you will normally find and use within receipt or label machines that typically print a small piece of paper and high speeds.
How does it work?
Printer paper is installed into its designated device and works like a typical printer would, reacting from a computer system or point of sale device that feeds in information to the printer that then prints onto the paper.
Types of printer paper
Thermal printer paper
Thermal printer paper is a special fine paper, coated with chemicals to change the colour when exposed to heat. The input from the printers ink and heat creates a reaction with the paper, the outcome of which we see is printed text upon the paper or receipt.

Linerless labels/paper –
The other type of printer paper is linerless paper or labels. These labels, much like the thermal paper, are commonly found on receipts or invoices with the notable difference that they have a sticky adhesive on the rear side of the label that can be used to affix it to the desired area.

• Permanent, removable and repositionable adhesives
• Release coating on the front of the face to prevent sticky adhesive impairing the rest of the roll
