Kitchen Printer Paper Guide
Restaurant kitchen printers are often impact printers designed to produce durable order tickets in hot, busy environments. They typically use bond or carbonless paper plus an ink ribbon.
Quick answer: If your kitchen printer is an impact model such as an Epson TM-U220 or Star SP700/SP742, start by checking whether it needs 1-ply bond or 2-ply carbonless paper, then match the exact width and ribbon cartridge.
1-Ply vs. 2-Ply Kitchen Paper
| Type | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| 1-ply bond | Single kitchen/prep ticket. | No duplicate copy. |
| 2-ply carbonless | Original plus duplicate ticket. | Thicker roll; confirm printer support and capacity. |
