Thermal Rolls use heat to produce text or imaging. Thermal paper Rolls are very sensitive to heat and friction. Thermal Rolls have a glossy like top coat.

Bond Rolls require ribbon/ink to produce text and imaging. Bond paper has similar resemblance to standard copy paper.

Telling Bond and Thermal apart – To tell if you have Bond or Thermal paper, Scratch the top side of the roll with your fingernail, if a black mark is left – Then it is Thermal as it is reacting to the friction. If nothing appears it is Bond Paper.
