The quality of the thermal rolls from ECOROOLLS was put under the microscope as part of a print test. The dimensions of the paper (80 m long, 80 mm wide, 48g/m² thick) proved to be suitable and the paper could be loaded into the test device without any problems.
When printing, it was noticeable that the black ink was very well absorbed by the paper, which resulted in a nice contrast and significantly improved legibility . Even after printing, the paper remained bright white, which indicates good heat resistance .
Particularly positive is the wide compatibility of the thermal rolls with a variety of printer brands, including Epson (TM-M30, TM-T20II-I, TM-T88v, TM-T88iv, TM-T30, TM-T 80/88; TM-T70II-I), Star Micronics (TSP143) as well as receipt printers from Bixolon, Metapace k-1 and others.
The manufacturer promises a durable product that can be used in various applications. The cores on which the thermal rolls are wound are made of cardboard instead of plastic. In addition, no harmful chemical plasticizers were used in the manufacture of the product, which makes it a harmless and environmentally friendly product.
Overall, the quality of ECOROOLLS thermal rolls was convincing in practical tests, both in terms of printing results and environmental and health aspects.
