Paper Rolls Australia Recommends ‘A-grade’ Paper Receipt Rolls

Paper Rolls Australia recommends retailers to always invest in premium quality ‘A-grade’ paper receipt rolls to prolong the life of their POS system. Receipts are an official document providing proof of purchase and as such are very important for customers and retailers. A receipt must be printed clearly and legibly at all times.

According to Paper Rolls Australia, cheaper receipt rolls are usually made from very low grade paper which can act as an abrasive on the thermal print head of a receipt printer due to its course nature. Sub-standard thermal receipt paper also tends to have a thinner thermal coating or contain unexpected foreign chemical residue, forcing the print heads to work harder to produce an image, which then causes significant damage to the printer over time.

Many retailers are unaware that failure to use approved grade paper in printing equipment can lead to warranties on machines becoming invalidated by the manufacturer. Using inferior grade receipt paper also creates prolific amounts of ‘paper dust’ and causes jamming that can lead to down time in businesses and POS equipment malfunction.

Premium quality or ‘A-grade’ paper receipt rolls as suggested by Paper Rolls Australia are the most cost effective alternative in the long run. Not only is wear and tear on the receipt printer print head greatly reduced, it minimises repair costs and reduces outlay on replacement POS equipment.
