Leuco dye is the main raw material required in the production of thermal paper. Chinese manufacturers account for over 80% of the global leuco dye production. Thus, the implementation of stringent pollution control norms in China has led to an unprecedented rise in leuco dye prices, which also increased the prices of thermal paper.

When exposed to heat, the molecules in the leuco dye react with the developer, producing the printed image on the base paper. Most thermal papers are known to produce black and white images. However, improvements in dye technology have made it possible to produce images in other colors.
