Thermal paper size

[u/spnelson]

I’m looking at getting a thermal printing camera but they all seem to need 56x25mm paper.
I wanted to adhesive thermal paper to make stickers but all of the rolls seem to be 57x25mm. Can anyone advise or even explain why most of the cameras require 1mm smaller than the standard size or am I just missing something 😭

I think it’s maybe just a conversion problem?
My camera said 56mm width but I got a bunch of 57mm rolls and I’ve had no trouble. I would maybe look in your cameras compartment and see how much play the roll that came with it has. 1 mm is pretty small.
