Receipt printer options for any business type

Receipt printers are sort of like POS systems in that they all serve a basic function (in this case printing receipts) with a few differences between models. Below, we've included short descriptions of our receipt printers to help you understand their key differences.

Pro USB Thermal Receipt Printer: Ideal for busy retail and hospitality environments like pubs and hotels, this USB printer pairs perfectly with your EPOS system and cash register, to deliver high-resolution receipts every time. This printer doesn't waste any time getting to work either as it's state-of-the-art thermal technology, which means it doesn't require replacement stock of ribbons or ink.

Bixolon DX220 Barcode Printer: Thanks to award-winning thermal technology, this printer's low running costs make it suited to smaller, more niche businesses. You also have full flexibility with this model as you can customise your barcodes. 

Pro Ethernet 80 mm Order Printer: Just right for restaurants and bars, this printer connects orders directly to your bar and kitchen to minimise human error, and keep your business running smoothly. You also have the option to print high-resolution receipts directly from the Epos Now iOS and Android apps.

Depending on the brand and the functionality of the hardware, receipt printers can be a few hundred pounds in price, with options such as a bluetooth receipt printer being more expensive than a wired printer. At Epos Now, we believe every shop, restaurant, and business should have access to affordable POS equipment and so we price our printers as competitively as possible.

For even better value, our Complete Solution comes with a POS terminal featuring an in-built receipt printer. This means that the cost of the printer is included in the price of our system, saving you money.

A thermal printer is a receipt printer. It simply uses a different process to create and print receipts. This process can make thermal printers preferable to standard printers depending on your needs.

Standard receipt printers use ink to print the receipt receipt onto paper. This ink can run and the paper can be considered wasteful. Thermal receipt printers sidestep this issue by using heat to print information onto specialised rolls of paper. This saves ink and ensures everything is printed exactly as it should be.

Thankfully, printing receipts is largely automated by your POS system! As you complete a sale, your POS system automatically generates a receipt, when your customer confirms that they want a physical receipt, all you have to do is press a button, and your printer will instantly print one for you.

Some POS systems, like the Epos Now Complete Solution, give you easy to use interfaces to send a digital receipt via email or SMS message. This saves on paper and is a sustainable option for high sale businesses.
