2 1/4 Thermal Paper Rolls

The single most popular size of thermal paper is the 2 ¼ thermal roll. You can find 2 ¼ thermal rolls in point of sale devices, credit card machines, adding machines, and a wide variety of other industrial and retail printing applications. The size 2 ¼ refers to the width of the roll which is two and one quarter inches; the length is limited only by the size of the print housing on your device.

Although you can find 2 ¼ thermal rolls for sale in a wide variety of locations, you should consider a few factors before deciding on the best thermal rolls for your machine. It is our recommendation that you first look at your owner’s manual to determine what the manufacturer recommendations are for your machine type. Your machine is most likely to encounter fewer maintenance issues, and to last the longest if you follow the manufacturer guidelines.

Not all 2 ¼ thermal rolls are created the same. You need to determine if you prefer black, red, blue, or green coloring for the print image. The chemicals which control the color of the ink are contained within the thermal paper, and are not dependent on the type of thermal print head or machine you are using. Easy Paper has great deals on 2 1/4 paper including 2 1/4 x 85 thermal paper.

Read the packaging or vendor detail information to make sure the 2 ¼ thermal rolls do not contain any form of Bisphenol A (or what is commonly referred to as BPA.) BPA has been proven by the Environmental Protection Agency to cause an increased risk of certain neurological issues and cancers in lab tested animals. Certain thermal roll manufacturers still use high concentrations of BPA compounds on the chemical coating of the paper to improve resistances to things like water or grease stains. BPA Free Thermal Paper is becoming an industry standard.

The lowest cost option is not necessarily always the best option when buying 2 ¼ thermal rolls. Higher grade papers are designed to reduce wear and tear on the thermal print heads by producing a low friction crisp image without any binding or unnecessary contact. Better quality papers will hold up longer when exposed to UV radiation or other contaminants.
