What Are The Various Types Of Receipt Printers?

Receipt printers as the name suggests are used to print receipts at various Point of Sale counters.  At most of the places, thermal receipt printers are used as they generate high quality and accurate print. A lot of points need to be borne in mind before you select the kind of receipt printer for your business establishment.  There are so many different kinds of receipt printers available in the market.

Mentioned Below Are Various Options For Receipt Printers:


1. Dot Matrix Printers- 

Also referred to as impact printers, these printers are not very expensive. They are generally used in kitchen environments as the hot temperatures in the kitchen do not allow the smooth working of thermal printers. Dot Matrix printers just print in two colors- red and black.

2. Thermal Printers- 

Thermal Receipt Printers are more expensive than dot-matrix printers. They produce very fine print quality. No noise is created while printing. The cost of setting the thermal printer is high but once it becomes functional there is no problem using it.  In the thermal printer, thermal paper is used. This paper has a thermal coating that makes it sensitive to heat.

3. Ink Jet Printers- 

This kind of printer has various print heads that shoot small droplets of liquid ink on the paper. Investment in this kind of printer makes sense if you necessitate high-quality printing. With inkjet printers, the cost of replacing the ink cartridges is quite high.

4. Wireless/ Mobile Receipt Printers

This is a high-speed printer that is not connected with a wire. All you need is a Wi-Fi Connection and this portable printer goes wherever you want. It is extremely easy to use. Usually, receipt printers are used in a hotel or gas station.

Demands of every business are different and it makes a lot of sense that you use a product based on your requirement. For instance, if you are working in an environment where a lot of heat is generated then making use of a thermal printer does not make sense in such a scenario.
