Credit Card Supplies

Most credit card terminals use 2 1/4” thermal paper rolls, which is the ideal width for compact receipts generated by mobile terminals, desktop EMV readers, and portable POS devices. Paper roll compatibility can vary by model, so it’s important to check your device’s user manual or existing roll dimensions before ordering.

For best performance, card readers should be cleaned every 1 to 2 weeks, especially in high-traffic environments where dust, oil, and magnetic debris from frequent card swipes can build up quickly. Using pre-saturated card reader cleaning cards helps maintain internal contacts, reduce transaction errors, and extend your terminal’s lifespan.

Thermal credit card paper allows for fast, inkless printing using heat-sensitive coatings, resulting in crisp, legible receipts. It eliminates the need for ribbons or toner, reducing maintenance and lowering operating costs. At POSPaper.com, we offer BPA-free thermal paper rolls that meet safety regulations without compromising print quality.

While digital transactions dominate today’s payment landscape, credit card imprinters remain a smart backup option. In the event of a power outage or system failure without network coverage, these devices allow you to manually imprint card details onto credit card sales slips, ensuring transactions can still be processed later. It should be a part of any business’s emergency preparedness toolkit along with POSPaper.com’s credit card supplies.
