thermal receipt paper is same with the desired pattern, similar to a thermal fax machine and depends on speed it varies .we magnum paper convertor co was the best thermal paper company in Bangalore .
The process described involves using a thermal printer, where electricity heats pins that then create an image by activating heat-sensitive paper. This technology is commonly used in receipt printers and some older fax machines.
It's very important to know there is two types of 'tattoo copier': 1. Fax machine type - this is the most common 2. Thermal-Copier using IR Heat lamp and rollers (much more expensive but much better) Fax machine types with like the old thermal fax machine, using a thermal head. Problems: Head often is not hot enough so designs are faint/ don't work or the whole machine is a dud. most are Chinese so that says it all. IR (Infra Red) Thermal-Copiers use a heat lamp inside a reflector and require a carrier to hold the tattoo paper as it passes through the machine - they are MUCH hotter and have a speed dial to adjust the speed/ temperature. This type is much more expensive, but work on all types of tattoo paper and are for studio use. If you buy a cheap fax machine type copier then expect cheap patchy results. You get what you pay for in this field. Speaking from experience here (bought too many cheap fax machine types and finally got a proper one) Dibbo
Fax-to-email services offer convenience by allowing users to send and receive faxes directly from their email inbox, eliminating the need for a physical fax machine. This method also reduces paper waste and provides a digital record of all fax communications.
A fax machine is considered both an input and output device. It receives data as input (the document being faxed) and sends the data as output to another fax machine.
In physics, fax machines and telegrams work by sending encoded electrical signals or pulses through a physical medium such as telephone lines or radio waves. The signals carry information in the form of text or images, which is decoded by the receiving device to reproduce the message. Fax machines use modems to convert digital data into analog signals for transmission, while telegrams rely on Morse code or other encoding methods for communication.
Thermal fax is a traditional fax which uses thermal paper.
The process described involves using a thermal printer, where electricity heats pins that then create an image by activating heat-sensitive paper. This technology is commonly used in receipt printers and some older fax machines.
It depends on the fax machine. Older fax machines print with thermal paper (the paper roll) - the fax "heats" up certain parts of the paper, and those parts of the paper are turned black. Newer fax machines are just printers with a fax line on them - they are either laser or ink based printers depending on the model.
Usually it is regular everyday printer paper. Sometimes thermal fax rolls are used in certain models, however these models are very old.
A Thermal Printer.
most fax machines have combined features to make them also function as printers, scanners, and copiers. Other features that can come on a fax machine are dual ring (the ability to answer a second number on the same phone line), various levels of paper capacity, whether the fax is plain paper or a paper roll, and different levels of stored numbers. Fax memory is also a measurement of how many pages of memory it can hold if the fax machine runs out of paper.
A thermal printer, much like the cash register receipts you get that run a list of items in a heart beat. The image is burned on to the chemically coated paper. The same paper will darken when exposed to excessive sunlight/heat. The paper is one sided and usually very thin. It use to be that the old fax machines used roll paper that was chemically coated and usually a page of typing would take a very short period of time to completely print out.
For paper being scanned: put it into the document feeder. For paper being printed: put it into the paper tray.
Fax film is similar to carbon paper. It was used in many older fax machines. Fax film would be used to transfer a message onto a paper as it was received.
Compared with a courier (a matter of dollars), a fax costs only the paper, toner, and phone / long distance charges (a matter of pennies) to send a document from one fax machine to another. Compared with email, which is virtually free to send and recieve, the direct costs are much higher. Where a fax machine has "cost advantages" over email is if, for example, proof of receipt of the message was needed (with fax, a confirmation page is issued, with email proof of receipt can be difficult unless the receiver emails back). In certain situations (such as a landlord notifying a tennant of a missed rent payment, or a business sending a legal notification) the costs of not having a proof of receipt can be virtually unlimited.

If your using the 'eclipse' that is a fax machine and does not produce enough heat, this is why the copy does not come through. A fax header is low voltage and low heat - it can't get through all the layers of the tattoo paper. There is an 'ECLIPSE 2' version which is a true thermal-copier and uses an IR heat lamp and does work. You need to use a carrier with this type of machine, not just putting the paper in on it's own like the 'eclipse' model it sounds like you have.
