Thermal printing is an inkless printing technology designed for businesses requiring high printing speeds and low operating costs. Thermal paper is coated with a heat-sensitive powder, allowing the printer to create images using high temperatures without ink. This technology is widely used in restaurants, eateries, hotels, karaoke bars, cafes, retail stores, as well as for printing tickets, receipts, and product labels.
What is thermal printing and why should Vietnamese businesses choose it?
Thermal printing works by using a hot printhead to activate heat-sensitive powder particles on the paper, producing clear images without ink. This technology offers 3 main benefits: (1) 30-40% lower operating costs compared to inkjet printing, (2) fast printing speeds of 100-150mm/second, (3) high durability — receipts and tickets do not fade for 2-3 years of storage.
According to Việt POS's experience implementing solutions for 200+ retail businesses and restaurants, thermal printers reduce paper waste by 20-25% due to not needing frequent ink changes. Additionally, thermal printers operate quietly (below 70dB), making them suitable for restaurant and cafe environments.

What is the cost of thermal printing compared to inkjet printing?
Thermal printing operating costs are 30-40% lower than inkjet printing in the first 12 months. Specifically:
- Thermal printing: Only requires thermal paper (0.8-1.2 VND/A4 sheet), no ink needed. Monthly cost: 500-800 thousand VND for 50-100 sheets/day.
- Inkjet printing: Regular paper (0.3-0.5 VND/sheet) + ink (200-400 thousand VND/replacement). Monthly cost: 1.2-1.8 million VND.
- Savings: Businesses save 400-1 million VND/month when switching to thermal printing.
Additionally, thermal printers have a lifespan of 5-7 years with low maintenance costs (only periodic printhead cleaning), while inkjet printers require printhead replacement after 2-3 years (costing 3-5 million VND).
What types of thermal paper are there and how to choose the right one?
Thermal paper is categorized by size, thickness, and heat-sensitive coating:
- Common sizes: 80mm (restaurant receipts), 58mm (tickets), 40mm (labels), 210×297mm (A4 receipts).
- Thickness: 50-80 gsm (grams/m²) — thin paper for tickets, 80-100 gsm for receipts.
- Coating: Standard heat-sensitive powder coating (2-3 years durability), premium coating (3-5 years durability) for accounting receipts.
- How to choose: Determine the paper roll size compatible with the printer (80mm for ZY808, 58mm for ticket printers), thickness of 70-80 gsm for restaurant receipts, 50 gsm for tickets.
Việt POS supplies thermal paper from reputable suppliers at prices ranging from 80-150 thousand VND/roll (depending on size), ensuring clear, fade-resistant print quality.
