Epson Receipt Printer Paper Size Guide
Running a retail shop, cafe, or restaurant means receipts are a daily necessity. The right Epson receipt printer paper prevents jams, ensures crisp printing, and reduces downtime. This quick guide helps you pick the correct thermal receipt paper size and highlights why MilaMima rolls are a reliable choice.
Common Epson Receipt Paper Sizes
- Standard width: 80mm (3 1/8") — used by most Epson stationary POS printers (TM-series and similar).
- Compact width: 57mm (2 1/4") — used by portable or compact POS printers.
- Core size: Usually 12.7mm (1/2"), though some machines use 8mm cores — check your printer manual.
- Roll length: Typically ranges from ~230ft to 273ft; choose longer rolls for fewer roll changes during peak hours.
Why roll quality matters
Cheap or incorrectly coated paper can cause faint receipts, smudging, and faster fading. MilaMima thermal rolls are formulated for:
- Crisp, high-contrast printing (better barcode readability).
- Fade resistance for longer receipt lifetime.
- Jam-free feeding and consistent performance in Epson printers.
- BPA-free options for eco-conscious businesses.
How to choose the right receipt paper
- Identify your printer model — check the label or manual to confirm whether it's 80mm or 57mm compatible.
- Confirm core size — many printers require a 12.7mm core; some portable devices use smaller cores.
- Pick roll length — longer rolls are more efficient for high-volume stores.
- Consider coating & longevity — if customers keep receipts for warranty or returns, choose a fade-resistant option.
