Essentially, thermal till rolls are simply an alternative to the conventional till roles which are widely used in stores throughout the world. The most noticeable features of thermal till rolls are:
*The paper is impregnated with a chemical that changes colour when exposed to heat.
*The paper has a shiny and smooth appearance.
*Roll lengths are slit to tight tolerances of +/-3% of the stated length.
*The technology of thermal printing allows you to lower your total cost of ownership as there will be no need to purchase ink ribbons or rollers.
*Although the cost per unit is marginally more expensive that conventional products, the overall operating costs remain lower, thus allowing businesses to reduce their running costs.
The products are available in a number of sizes with specifications from 4480 up to 60130×50 ATM rolls and all the products will have been rigorously tested for print head reliability to ensure optimum performance. Like multi ply paper rolls they are available in different standards with the quality of paper ranging from budget through to A grade.
Of course, as with many things in life, the better quality papers are actually more cost effective in the long run than the singly ply budget paper. The reason for this being; the cheaper rolls tend to leave a lot of dust and debris behind which in turns causes blockages and damage to the print head. For the most part, it’s easy to distinguish between budget paper and A-grade paper as the A-grade paper shiny and has a far brighter appearance that the budget paper.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of all though is, when you invest in point of sale thermal till rolls, you completely eliminate the need for any rollers or ink ribbons. The good news is, this paper which has the ability to change colour when exposed to heat has the potential to noticeably lower overall running costs. Furthermore, thermal till rolls are for the most part compatible with all modern point of sale printers, credit card terminals and cash registers.
As is the case with most products, sourcing thermal till rolls is literally a piece of cake, thanks to the internet. In fact, there are a vast number of wholesalers advertising online in the hope of securing your custom.
Of course, the downside to this is, with so many suppliers and so much competition, choosing a suitable supplier can be rather daunting at best. One thing you do need to determine though is, does the supplier actually have the product in stock, or do they simply order it whenever they receive an order. If it’s the latter then you’d be better off finding a supplier who carries it in stock, or else you’ll more than likely be on the receiving end of delays.
To narrow your search down even further, always make enquiries as to a suppliers delivery terms. If they’re a reputable supplier, you can be rest assured they’ll offer free 24 hour delivery. While this may seem insignificant, it does however mean you’ll never have to worry about being without any thermal till rolls.
