Are you a little confused by all the different printer brands, models and functions?

Well, we’re here to tell you a little bit about the POS Printers we stock so you can be sure you choose the right one for your business!

Let’s start with what we stock:

  • Thermal Printers
  • Impact Receipt Printers or Dot Matrix Printers
  • Label Printers

These three kinds of printers are all unique in their functionalities, offering a range of different benefits to your business.

Our POS Printers:

Thermal Printers:

Thermal Receipt Printers offer fast and versatile printing solutions for all types of businesses.

There are thermal heads in the printer that provide the heat for melting the coating substance on the paper rolls, so the reaction takes place as the rolls are printed on.

Thermal Printers have a higher printing quality due to their inkless printing mechanisms, where there are no problems with too little or too much ink being released onto the paper rolls.

Impact Receipt Printers:

Impact Receipt Printers or Dot Matrix Printers are reliable, fast and provide you with easy printing functionalities.

Impact Receipt Printers require a printer ribbon, where the ink is transferred onto the rolls through tiny hammers imprinting small dots on the roll to makeup the content. 

The beauty of these printers is that they can print duplicate copies of the same receipt and the paper is not heat sensitive, making them perfect for kitchens and hospitality businesses!
