A respected presence in the Montvale, New Jersey entrepreneurial sphere, David Mindich serves as the managing partner of Mindich Capital, LLC, a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage companies to help them grow.

Thermal paper works in printers that don't use ink. They essentially contain chemicals that change colors when subjected to heat above their melting points. The type of printer that uses thermal paper to produce printed documents is called a thermal printer.

The active chemicals in thermal paper are relatively nontoxic. However, some thermal paper manufacturers use a synthetic compound called Bisphenol A (BPA) to line their papers. The function of BPA is to enhance the color of the prints.

Over the years, BPA has been associated with negative health connotations. Multiple studies have linked the compound with increased susceptibility to cancer, developmental disorders, obesity, and diabetes. For this reason, it's ideal to buy BPA-free thermal paper for the safety of users and their customers.
