Impact Receipt Printers
Impact Receipt Printers use ink ribbons to transfer the text onto plain paper and is prefered by many industries over Direct Thermal Technology due to the longevity of the receipt or print out.
Impact Receipt Printers are very popular in kitchens, due to the fact that the text on the paper will not fade when exposed to heat, and is also more food-safe than Direct Thermal paper that contains chemicals.
The most popular models include the Epson Tm-U220B and the Star Micronics SP742.
