Paper Rolls

Access POS stocks a full range of Cash Register and Point of Sale paper rolls. Typically, there are 3 main types of paper roll used in either EFTPOS terminals, Cash Registers or POS System Printers. These are:

• Single Ply Paper Rolls
• Multi Ply Paper Rolls
• Thermal Paper Rolls

Single Ply Paper Rolls:

Standard type of paper eg. drawing or copy paper. The image on the top copy is achieved by a ink cassette / ribbon that feeds through the "impact" printer mechanism. Single Ply Paper Rolls are primarily used in cash registers, except for the 76 x 76mm paper rolls which are used in POS "impact" printers.

Multi Ply Paper Rolls:

Primarily used as 2-ply rolls although 3-ply rolls are available. The paper is coated with micro capsules that create a duplicate image on the second (and third) layer of the paper roll. The image on the top copy is achieved by a ink cassette / ribbon that feeds through the "impact" printer mechanism. The two and three ply paper rolls are commonly used in hospitality establishments in food and beverage order printers. The 2-ply paper usually comes as white / yellow while the 3-ply comes as white / yellow / pink.

Thermal Paper Rolls:

Thermal Paper is coated with a heat sensitive coating which reacts with the heated print head in the printer mechanism. You do not need to use any ink cassettes / ribbons within a thermal printer. To identify thermal paper, simply run your finger nail across the surface and the heat generated by the friction will cause a black line. Thermal paper also has a very smooth surface feel.

How to measure a Paper Roll:

Rolls are measured Width (mm) x Diameter (mm). eg. Thermal 80 x 80 Paper Rolls have a width of 80mm and a diameter (across the core) of 80mm. The core size has little relevance but is usually around 12mm.

Paper Rolls are typically boxed in quantities of 50. Delivery is available Australia wide.

Discounts are provided for multiple box purchases.
