A thermal receipt printer offers quiet, speedy performance at the point of sale. With thermal receipt paper as the only consumable, thermal receipt printers can offer a lower total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the hardware. Manufaturer features and warranties vary, so retailers can choose the perfect features-to-value ratio.
A receipt printer plays an integral role in any POS system, signaling the cash drawer to open when the transaction is completed. Two main types of POS printers, the impact receipt printer and the thermal receipt printer, are industry mainstays.
While an impact receipt printer uses more consumables (ink cartridges and receipt paper), it offers an affordable entry price compared to thermal receipt printers, may offer two-color printing, can print on 2-ply receipt paper, and withstands heat in restaurant kitchen environments. A thermal printer does not use ink -- it uses heat-sensitive receipt paper to create an image on the paper. Thermal receipt printers offer near-silent, speedy printing for fast-paced retail operations, or anywhere silence is appreciated.
