Check the width and the roll diameter your printer takes, then buy in cartons. Receipt paper is a repeat purchase you will make every month.
Key takeaways
- Receipts must stay readable for refunds and tax records.
- The wrong width or diameter will not fit or will jam.
- Buying by the carton lowers the cost per roll.
- Running out of paper stops sales.

06Frequently asked questions
How many rolls do I need a month?
It depends on sales. Count receipts per day, ask how many fit on a roll, and add a spare carton.
Why does my receipt fade?
Heat, light and cheap paper fade thermal prints. Store paper cool and use good-quality rolls.
Is 57mm the same as 58mm?
They are close and often interchangeable; check your printer's manual.
