Tanzania Bureau of Standards TBS/CDC10 (6437) P3 DRAFT TANZANIA STANDARD TBS/CDC-10 (6437) P3 THERMAL PAPER ROLLS — SPECIFICATION TANZANIA BUREAU OF STANDARDS © TBS 2019 All right Reserved First Edition 2019 TBS/CDC10(6437) P3 0 Foreword This Draft Tanzania Standard is being developed by Stationery and Paper Products Technical Committee under supervision of the Chemical Division Standards Committee and it is in accordance with the procedures of the Bureau. This Draft Tanzania Standard is the first edition of specification for thermal paper rolls. It specifies requirements for materials, types and sizes. Thermal paper is mostly used in Electronic Fiscal Printers (EFP) at point of sales (POS) such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations, supermarkets, and for labels, gaming, ticket & tags and other applications of similar nature. This Draft Tanzania Standard has been prepared with assistance drawn from the following documents: CKS 612, Paper for offset lithographic printing specification, Published by South African Bureau of Standards. BS EN 12858, Paper – Printing and business paper -requirements for continuous stationery. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this Tanzania Standard is complied with, the final value observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with TZS 4 (see clause 2). © TBS 2019 - All rights reserved First Edition 2009 TBS/CDC10(6437) P3 DRAFT TANZANIA STANDARD TBS/CDC 10 (6437) P3 Thermal paper rolls – Specification 1 Scope This Draft Tanzania Standard specifies the requirements, sampling and methods of test of thermal paper rolls. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

  • Optimizing a Sequence of Methods for the Development of Latent Fingerprints on Thermal Paper
    Optimizing A Sequence of Methods for the Development of Latent Fingerprints on Thermal Paper Reyne Spychalski, B.S.1; Kimberly Gerhardt, M.S.F.S.2; Lt. David Castle3; and Terry Fenger, PhD1. 1. Marshall University Forensic Science Center, 1401 Forensic Science Drive, Huntington, WV 25701 2. Rapid City Police Department Evidence Section, 625 1st Street, Rapid City, SD, 57701 3. Huntington Police Department, 675 10th St, Huntington, WV 25701 Abstract Thermal paper has been known to be a tedious substrate in latent fingerprint laboratories. Although it is considered a porous substrate, techniques that are commonly used to develop fingerprints on porous items have shown to be unsuccessful on thermal paper. A major issue is that chemicals used in these processes, as well as the common application of heat, can interact with the components of the paper, activate it, and darken the entire surface. The darkening of the paper makes the visualization of existing latent fingerprints a difficult task. Recently, numerous procedures have been created to successfully develop fingerprints on thermal paper evidence without interacting with the thermal properties. For other porous substrates, a sequence of methods may be followed to ensure that all existing fingerprints have been found. However, since thermal paper requires special techniques, a known sequence does not currently exist and laboratories may only utilize one method. If a latent fingerprint examiner solely uses one method for thermal paper evidence, they may be unaware of fingerprints that were present but failed to develop. They may also be unaware that a combination of these methods may yield better results than one method alone.

  • Thermal Vs. Inkjet Printing
    Thermal vs. Inkjet Printing Why thermal technology? Why inkjet printers are not mobile? • Low running costs: No ink or toner, the cost per page will remain • Recommended uses of inkjet technology are generally limited to the same regardless of how much print is on the page. a home or office environment. • Reliable: Thermal print technology is inherently reliable – • Inkjet printers are known to have problems in mobile using a very limited number of moving parts and operating under a environments where temperature or pressure extremes occur. wide range of environmental conditions. Cold ink or pressure variations can upset the printing process impacting print quality. • Print quality: Thermal technology uses precise temperature and contact with the paper to place a pixel (printed dot) onto a page. • The nozzles used in inkjet printers may become easily clogged in This means precise placement of every dot producing high print the extreme environments required for mobile printing. quality character and graphic images. • The many moving parts of the printer cannot withstand the harsh • Easy to maintain: There are no consumables such as ink, toners or use of mobile users. drums to replenish.
