More and more retailers seem to be moving toward thermal printers, which are fast, reliable and better able to meet the requirements of certain POS systems.
Businesses like grocery, supermarkets, departmental stores and the likes are also making use of thermal printers for the printing of receipt. It is difficult to see a grocery or supermarkets that do not have thermal printers like point-at-sales machines. Printing receipts with such printers is better and faster than using pen or ordinary printer.
