I have been using Staples brand thermal rolls - in the 10-pack - for years in my little retail shop. I have never had an issue with the quality of the paper or how it goes through my Epson thermal receipt printer.
What can I say about these great 3-1/8" x 230' Thermal Rolls? They work very well and are a great bargain! Not only are they very well suited for my purposes but they would be for anyone who has a need for them. I love that they are 230 feet long. It means that there is less changing of the roll in the middle of transactions. My printer is an easy drop-type and these rolls are super simple to install. I would recommend them for all machine types. I use a similar product (just smaller) on a different machine and am very happy with those too.
What can you possibly say about these thermal receipt paper rolls besides the fact that they work for their intended application? Well the fact that they work great is a good thing but the fact that I have never run into a problem with a roll is even better. It is the only thermal roll that staples sells for my printers so deciding which one to purchase is never a problem. The rolls work from beginning all the way to the very end of the roll with very little waste. The red streak toward the end of the roll lets you know that it will need to be replaced soon. I will continue to purchase these rolls from staples as long as I have the printers that use them.
The thermal rolls are outstanding and easy to get started . The glue that is used to keep the rolls together is just strong enough that it opens easy and drops in
While the quality of the paper is excellent the rolls are a bit shorter in length than the commercial sellers have the ends are glued so far up the roll that more paper is wasted than necessary and that said the cost is expensive. Great for emergency use if the store has it stocked.
