r/ThermalPrintCameras

Need help, has anyone used a 8.5 x 11 thermal printer.

I currently use a thermal print camera and I love the images. I'm thinking of going into the weeds by printing larger images. If anyone has any images or suggestions for a printer I would appreciate the help

Personally I see this medium having the capacity of becoming fine art photography. Thermal printing is like taking a picture of a memory, eventually it fades.

Question - Art or Hobby

This is getting out of hand.

4 thermal paper photographs photographed with my thermal camera and printed on thermal paper.

I think I need holidays.

Left, normal thermal paper bought on a corner store.
Right, CRESZZLE Brand Paper. it says Glossy in Paper Finish Type
It has more contrast and more detail.

I’ve been enjoying this little thermal camera way more than I expected. The lo-fi look honestly grew on me fast. I’m still pretty new to this subreddit and thermal photography in general, but now I’m tempted to pick up another one.

Any recommendations for a thermal camera that produces the sharpest images/prints possible while still keeping that instant thermal charm? Appreciate any suggestions!

I did another experiment.

On the left, the picture done with my thermal camera. Right, with an Olympus pen.
The thermal camera quality is really bad.

I printed Both with the Thermal camera, the print resolution is so low that yoy can't even notice the difference.
