Thermal paper is firmly established in many areas of daily life: checkout receipts and price / weight labels in the supermarket, credit card receipts, parcel labels or entry cards, and many other applications besides – in fact, anywhere that information has to be printed out quickly and economically. This rapid diversification of uses has come about through steady improvements in the performance and reliability of thermal paper. The combination of microchip power and paper technology provides an imaging system with previously undreamed levels of reliability, compactness, and cost effectiveness.
Koehler invests continuously in their thermal division in order to meet steadily rising demand. The very latest and world’s most efficient production facilities are at work at their Kehl mill on the Rhine. These paper-making and coating machines operate using the very latest production and coating technologies.

BLUE4EST ® – THE BLUE THERMAL PAPER FROM THE BLACK FOREST
THE ECO-FRIENDLY THERMAL PAPER FROM KOEHLER
Blue4est® is the innovative thermal paper from Koehler. It is guaranteed to be free of chemical developers and can easily be used in any conventional thermal printer. Instead of a chemical reaction to heat, the emergence of text on our new Blue4est® thermal paper is a purely physical reaction. The paper’s opaque functional layer turns transparent due to the effects of heat, and the black layer beneath it is revealed.
