Frequently Asked Questions

Is 3 1/8" the same as 80mm? Yes. 3 1/8 inches converts to approximately 79.4mm, which is standardized as 80mm in the industry. The two terms are used interchangeably.

How do I know what length roll to buy? Check your printer's specifications for maximum roll diameter — typically 3" for most countertop POS printers. A longer roll fits more paper in the same diameter when using lighter-weight paper.
