Actually, there’s no much restriction on back print. 1-5 colors is OK. Normally, we just print advertisements on back side of thermal paper.  Thermal front side needs to be printed with sales transaction information. There’s no much space to print full color advertisement freely.

2)Thermal Paper Front Print

As you know, thermal front side is for merchants to print transaction information. To draw attention from customer,  the front side can be also printed with advertisements. To print clearly and attract attention at the same time, there’s 3 tricks for you.
