A fax paper refers to the type of paper used in fax machines to print received faxes. Traditional fax machines use thermal paper or plain paper, depending on the technology. With online fax services, businesses can send and receive faxes digitally, eliminating the need for paper, ink, or a physical fax machine. 

Types of Fax Paper:

• Thermal Paper: Used in older thermal fax machines; it has a heat-sensitive coating that darkens when exposed to heat.
• Plain Paper: Used in modern laser or inkjet fax machines, similar to standard printer paper.

Differences Between Fax Paper:

• Thermal paper fades over time and feels glossy.

• Plain paper provides better durability and print quality.

   

Transitioning Away From Physical Fax Paper

With the rise of cloud-based fax solutions like Notifyre, businesses are moving away from traditional fax hardware and paper. Online faxing offers benefits such as:

• Paperless document handling

• Reduced office supply costs

• Improved security and compliance

• Access from any device, anywhere

Businesses can now send and receive faxes via email, web fax portal, or Fax API, streamlining workflows and contributing to environmentally sustainable practices.
