Which Printer is Most Commonly Used for Printing Receipts?
Choosing the right receipt printer for your POS system is crucial for efficient operations. This article clarifies the most popular printer types used in the POS industry, helping you avoid common pitfalls and select the best option for your business needs.
Thermal Printers: The Industry Standard
Thermal printers are the most common type of receipt printer used with POS systems. They utilize heat-sensitive paper and a thermal printhead to produce images. This technology offers several advantages: they're generally quieter than impact printers, require less maintenance (no ink cartridges to replace), and are compact, making them ideal for countertop POS setups. The low running costs are also a significant benefit. Many FAVORPOS systems seamlessly integrate with thermal printers.
Impact Printers: A Durable Alternative
Impact printers, while less prevalent than thermal printers in modern POS systems, still hold a place in specific applications. These printers use an impact mechanism to print onto paper, often using carbon ribbons for multiple copies. Their durability and ability to print on multiple-part forms make them suitable for environments requiring high-volume printing or multiple-copy receipts. However, their higher maintenance needs and noise levels compared to thermal printers mean they are less commonly chosen for typical POS applications.
Selecting the Right Printer for Your Needs
The choice between a thermal and an impact printer largely depends on your specific requirements. For most POS environments, the thermal printer's quiet operation, low cost of ownership, and compact size make it the clear winner. However, if your business requires durable, multi-copy receipts, an impact printer might be considered. Factors such as print speed, paper roll size, and connectivity options (USB, Ethernet, wireless) should also be carefully evaluated.
