Help Guide

Here are a few handy hints to help you find the right Till Rolls, Credit Card Machine Rolls, Thermal Receipt Rolls or Ink Ribbons for your Printer.

Measuring your Till Rolls

Codes on this site are Width x Diameter (in mm)

How to measure your Till Rolls

Codes used on our Site are as follows:

TH - Thermal Rolls (These do not require a Ribbon)

SP - Single Ply Rolls (these require a Ribbon)

2P - 2 Ply Rolls (these require a Ribbon)

3P - 3 Ply Rolls (these require a Ribbon)

For example the roll above is a Thermal Roll 80mm width & 70mm diameter. The Code is then TH80-70.

The width is important but the diameter of roll that you select can be less than the Roll that you currently have. If for example your roll measures 80mm x 72mm then an 80mm x 70mm roll will fit without problems.

If in doubt, please give us a call on 0800 195 4453. We're more than happy to help you out on the phone.

The different types of Paper

There are 4 different types of Paper:

THERMAL PAPER

This is heat sensitive paper used in machines with a Thermal Print Head. These Rolls do not require a Ribbon

SINGLE PLY PAPER

These Till Rolls are used in Impact (Dot Matrix) printers. You can tell if the equipment you are using is an Impact Printer by seeing if it uses a Ribbon. 

2 PLY PAPER

These Till Rolls are used in Impact (Dot Matrix) printers and produce 2 copies at the same time. You can tell if the equipment you are using is an Impact Printer by seeing if it uses a Ribbon. 

3 PLY PAPER

These Till Rolls are used in Impact (Dot Matrix) printers and produce 3 copies at the same time. You can tell if the equipment you are using is an Impact Printer by seeing if it uses a Ribbon.

TOP TIP TO FIND OUT WHICH PAPER YOU NEED

The quick and simple way to tell the difference between Thermal Paper and Single Ply Paper is that Thermal Paper has a smooth glossy appearance whereas Single Ply has a matt appearance and feels like regular A4 Printer paper. You can also differentiate the two by running your finger nail or coin across the paper. The Thermal Paper will leave a grey or black mark where you ran your finger or coin across, the Single Ply Paper will leave no mark.
