If you have receipts coming from groceries, boutiques and even restaurants, chances are those receipts are printed using thermal printers. Unlike most printers that would need a toner or ink, thermal printers use heat to transfer the image to the paper. Currently, most of the thermal printers that are available in the market are those that can only print text and images using one color, often black. There are a number of thermal printers now available that can print two colors: black and red. These are called two-color direct thermal printers. These work by applying heat in two different temperatures on the paper to create the change in the color.

Aside from receipts, thermal printing technology is also used in most fax machines that are available in the market. It is also used in the medical field for printing ultrasound imaging results.

How do Thermal Printers Work?

A thermo-sensitive paper is inserted between the thermal head and the rubber roller that would feed the paper through the printer. The thermal printer then sends a current of electricity to the heating resistor located on the thermal head.

In effect, there is still some form of ink or coloring just like all types of printer. The difference is that for thermal printers, the ink or coloring is embedded on a special paper designed specifically for thermal printing.

Advantages of Thermal Printers

Thermal printers are highly favored by many business establishments for printing of the receipts because they are able to print faster than most other printers. Prior to the introduction of thermal printers, business establishments would print receipts with dot matrix printer. These printers can be quite noisy and annoying for both the user and those within the establishment.

Another advantage for using thermal printers is that it is more economical. Unlike most printers where you would need to buy ink cartridges, toners or ribbons, thermal printers do not need to have cartridges to be replaced with paper supplies. You will just need to replace the paper that is used for the printer.

Disadvantages of Thermal Printers

One disadvantage of using a thermal printer is that it can only work with a specialized paper, which can be more expensive than ordinary bond paper that is used by other printers.

Furthermore, texts that are printed on thermal papers are not permanent. Over time, the printed text fades. Manufacturers of thermal paper have stated that the average length of time for the printed text to last on a thermal paper is fifty years. This makes thermal printers not a viable choice if you are printing business documents.

Many business owners report a sharp increase in profit when they begin accepting credit cards as a means of payment. Credit cards allow customers who do not have the money on hand to make purchases from you despite their personal shortage of cash, and they also open the door to customers who simply make all of their purchases by credit card or debit card each month- as there are many people who prefer to make a single payment for all their monthly expenditures when their statement arrives.

Online businesses greatly benefit from accepting credit cards, as payment can be made immediately over the Internet and your business can quickly ship their purchase without having to wait for a check to arrive by mail, and then waiting for the check to clear the bank before sending orders out to customers.

Service oriented businesses will notice a large decline in the number of past due accounts when they start accepting credit cards for payment. A business that sets up a merchant account not only has the ability to accept credit card payments for their professional services, but it also allows them to accept ATM and debit cards as payments, and of course the traditional methods of check or cash payments. Basically, you’ve increased the ways in which a customer can provide payment and increased your business methods for billing and collecting. Accepting credit cards for payment reduces your business overhead and can greatly improve your cash flow.

Using Merchant Accounts to Lower Overhead and Increase Cash Flow

If you have several outstanding receivables that are past-due, you are likely to be experiencing a problem with cash flow. When you offer customers the possibility of making payments by credit card, ATM or debit card, you will clear up the past-due receivables faster.

For large purchases or services you provide that might be considered expensive to the majority of your customers, you may need to offer your customers the ability to make payments on their account. If you do not accept credit cards, you have to extend the credit to the customer yourself- and hope that they will keep making their payments over time. You can minimize your risk by allowing the customer to make the payment to you in FULL, by credit card- while at the same time the customer has the ability to pay for their purchase in monthly payments to their credit card.

Accepting credit cards lowers your overhead. Consider this: it will cost you less money in transaction fees to accept a $60 payment from a credit card than it will to create and print an invoice, and mail it to the customer. (This is not even considering a customer who needs to be reminded to make the payment several times once the invoice has been sent!)

When a business provides the ability for customers to pay using credit cards, the number of bad debts the business has is decreased. That increases the cash flow and reduces overhead costs- both necessary in improving the profits of a business.

Merchant Accounts are Accessible to All Size Businesses

There was a time in the not so distant past that it was very difficult to be approved for merchant accounts. In previous years, a business would need a high volume of credit card usage in order to make the fees for having the ability to accept electronic payments affordable. Currently, it is very inexpensive to set up merchant accounts whether you are a large business with a physical location, or a small business operating only online thanks to the increase in merchant account providers available to businesses.
