Receipt Printer

Receipt printers are a staple of any point of sale station. Beyond printing proof of sale, they’re used for sending orders to the kitchen, generating invoices, or issuing tickets for events. At checkout, they can also trigger your cash drawer to open, streamlining transactions. We carry POS printers from fantastic manufacturers including Epson, Star Micronics, Custom America, and more.

Performance Thermal Printer

These printers are the gold standard for receipt printing and are seen the most in high-volume and high-stakes environments. From multilane department stores to large fine dining restaurants, a quality receipt printer can keep your operations running smoothly for years. Thermal printers use heat to activate a chemical in special receipt paper to print text and images, eliminating the need for ink, toner, or additional consumables.

• Star Micronics TSP100III - Industry standard receipt printer
• Custom America K3 - Reliable, high-speed printing
• Star Micronics mC-Print3 - Wide variety of connectivity options

Economy Thermal Printer

Sacrificing some performance to improve affordability, economy thermal printers are a solid option for most small to medium volume retailers or restaurants, such as gift shops or clothing boutiques. While they may not match the speed or durability of high-end models, they’re still dependable and well-suited for businesses printing closer to 100 receipts a day rather than 10,000.

• Epson TM-T20IV - Quick and efficient printing
• Epson TM-m10 - Compact printer for small businesses
• Custom America P3 - Affordable, high-quality printer

Impact Printer

Impact printers use a small dot matrix hammer to transfer ink from a ribbon onto paper. These receipts won't fade or smudge in hot or humid environments, making them ideal for kitchens, bars, dry cleaners—anywhere a robust receipt is needed. Many models support two-color printing, which is especially useful for highlighting key details like food modifications or discounts. While they tend to be louder and slower than thermal printers, they’re well-suited for busy, high-noise environments.

• Epson TM-U220II - Supports 2-color printing
• POS-X EVO Impact - Affordable kitchen printing
• Star Micronics SP700 - Supports Mac OS X

Multifunction Printer

Take a thermal printer and an impact slip printer, fuse them together, and you have a multifunction printer. Most commonly seen at grocery stores or banks, these printers not only print receipts, but can endorse checks, print slips for invoices or long-term ordering, and some even frank checks or scan barcodes. Combining functionality into one device saves valuable space at checkstands or teller windows.

• Epson TM-H6000V - Mobile-friendly, all-in-one printing
• Epson TM-U295 - Compact slip printer
• Epson FX-890II - Reliable, legacy-compatible impact printing

Inkjet Printer

Similar to the inkjet printer you may have at home, these use high-pressure jets to spray ink onto your receipt paper. For specific applications, they can be a smart choice, especially when multi-color printing is needed to highlight returns, discounts, or order modifications. Unfortunately, these printers are slower and louder than thermal printers, so they aren't quite as useful as they once were.
