How does a thermal printer print without ink?

A thermal print head heats tiny points on heat-sensitive paper, which darkens where it is heated. There is no ink, toner, or ribbon to replace — only the paper rolls or label cartridges.

Do thermal prints fade?

Direct thermal prints fade over months to years, faster with heat, sunlight, or contact with plastics and oils. They suit labels, receipts, and notes rather than archival documents.
