d)If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long period, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and can cause the printed image to fade. When storing thermal paper in a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester.

e)If thermal paper touches diazo copy paper immediately after copying, the printed surface may discolor.

f)Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each other because the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.

g)If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a nail or other hard metal object, it may discolor.

(2)Notes on thermal paper storage

Color development begins at 70°C, so the following precautions should be taken.

a)Store paper away from high temperature and humidity.

Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in direct sunlight.

b)Avoid direct light.

If exposed to direct light for a while, paper color may change or printed images may fade.
