Why Ultrasound Thermal Paper Selection Matters
Ultrasound printers are designed to work with specific thermal paper grades. Using the correct paper ensures:
- Consistent image contrast and clarity
- Accurate grayscale reproduction
- Reduced printer wear
- Reliable long-term storage of printed images
Choosing the wrong paper type may result in poor image quality or inconsistent output.
Common Ultrasound Thermal Paper Grades Explained
Durico ultrasound thermal paper is available in multiple grades to support different imaging needs.
Standard (S) Grade
Standard thermal paper is designed for routine ultrasound printing where consistent performance and cost efficiency are priorities.
Clinics commonly use standard paper for:
- Daily imaging workflows
- General documentation
- High-volume printing
Durico option:
👉 Durico 1100S
High-Gloss (HG) Grade
High-gloss thermal paper provides increased contrast and sharper image presentation compared to standard grade paper.
Clinics may prefer high-gloss paper for:
- Enhanced visual clarity
- Improved image presentation
- Situations where detail visibility is important
Durico option:
👉 Durico 1100HG
High-Density (HD) Grade
High-density thermal paper is designed for premium imaging environments that require maximum grayscale depth and image density.
Clinics typically use high-density paper for:
- Advanced diagnostic imaging
- Detailed ultrasound output
- Applications requiring the highest image fidelity
Durico option:
👉 Durico ULSTAR-2100HD
OEM Paper Equivalents (Common Reference)
Many clinics identify thermal paper by OEM product names currently used in their printers. Below is a common reference:
| OEM Paper Reference | Durico Equivalent |

| Sony UPP-110HG (Type V) | Durico 1100HG — 110mm × 18m |

Always confirm printer compatibility and paper type settings before switching products.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
Our 110mm grades — 1100HG, ULSTAR-1100HD and 1100S — fit the Sony UP-895 / 897 / 898 Series. The 210mm ULSTAR-2100HD fits the Sony UP-970 / 971 / 990 / 991AD.
