Non-thermal rolls
Although the number of non-thermal till rolls sold is gradually declining as machines that
use them are replaced, they still remain vital in some industries, because they have
different properties to thermal printers.
There are still plenty of tills or cash registers in use that don't rely on thermal paper.
Sometimes it's because the cost of replacing these machines is greater than the potential
saving. Also, the cost of non-thermal till rolls is less than for thermal paper, although
generally, this is outweighed by the charge for replacement inks and increased maintenance.
At the heart of a non-thermal device is a dot matrix printer which uses pressure and ink
rather than temperature to print. This allows them to, for instance, create multiple copies
simultaneously which makes it easier to keep track of orders; or other applications which
require more than one person to utilize the same information at the same time. Thermal
printers are able to create multiple copies, but only in the form of separate tickets.
You might find some suppliers who regard this technology as obsolete, so they may not
stock the supplies you need. Not us. Contact Till Roll Superstore, as a premium till roll
