How to read a faded receipt? You can read a faded receipt by restoring the faded thermal print with heat or making a digital copy. To restore faded thermal prints, you need to carefully apply heat to the faded thermal printed receipt. For instance, you can blow low-heat air from a hairdryer to the backside of the receipt from the distance of an arm\u2019s length. Alternatively, you can scan the receipt or use a mobile app to make a digital copy of the faded receipt. Then, carefully manipulate the brightness and contrast settings until the faded prints become readable.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Restore Faded Thermal Receipts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are four simple ways to restore faded thermal prints. The first option is to blow low-heat air to the backside of the receipt from a hairdryer. Another option is to apply heat using a pressing iron. But for this, you must place a well-padded piece of cloth as a buffer between the pressing iron and the receipt. The third option is to scan the receipt and edit the photo\u2019s contrast and brightness settings until the faded prints reappear. Finally, you can use special mobile apps like Paperistic or Tabscanner to restore faded receipts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these four methods are potent and often work well. But it is always better to try the digital methods before attempting to use heat. This is because heat can potentially damage the receipt further and render it completely unreadable if care is not taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you read on, we will explain each of these four methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scan the Faded Receipt to Your Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scanning faded receipts can help restore them digitally. To do this, scan the faded receipt just the way you would scan a colored print or photo. This will produce a digital image of the receipt on your computer. Open this image with Adobe Photoshop or any other good photo editor. Then tweak the contrast and brightness setting or simply use a filter to create a negative copy. This should make the faded print reappear again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
