[0002] The thermal printing sheet is composed of a row of heating elements, all of which have the same resistance. These elements are arranged densely, ranging from 200 dpi to 600 dpi. When a certain current passes through these elements, they will quickly generate high temperature. When the medium coating encounters these elements, the temperature will rise in an extremely short time, and the medium coating will undergo a chemical reaction and show color. The paper width is 58mm7, the dot pitch is 0.125mm8, and the dot size is 0.125mm * 0.12mm.

[0003] The existing thermal printing sheet elements need to be disassembled and assembled separately for storage. After being used by a thermal printer, the consumable elements are assembled individually temporarily too slowly, and the thermal printing sheet elements are prone to assembly errors, resulting in damage and failure of the thermal printing sheet. After the thermal printing sheet is assembled, it is easy to be folded and damaged during storage. Content of the Utility Model
