3 1/8" x 3" Heavy Thermal Paper (50 rolls/case)

The life of a roll depends on how often your POS terminal prints receipts, but a regular 3 1/8 x 230' roll can usually last through 150 to 250 transactions. But it also depends on what your average receipt length is. For businesses that deal with a lot of customers (coffee shops, restaurants, retail counters), you might use several rolls per day. Bulk ordering helps ensure consistent stock and savings over time.

While thermal paper offers fast, ink-free printing, it does have some aspects that you have to keep in mind. First, it’s sensitive to heat, light and friction, which can cause the ink to fade over time. This might be problematic if these receipts are meant to be archived. Some thermal paper may have BPA, but POSPaper.com offers BPA-free paper as well.

No. While you might be tempted to use non-thermal paper, these printers are meant to only work with heat-sensitive thermal paper. So what happens when you use regular paper? It will usually result in blank receipts, since there’s no coating that reacts with the printer head. In the worst-case scenario, the printhead could be damaged.

You don’t want your purchase going to waste, which is why you have to know how to preserve the quality of thermal paper rolls. Prevent premature fading and keep the paper coating intact for optimal printing by doing this.
