After using the thermal printer for sometime, I was introduced to the Epson Tm-U220B matrix printer, one thing I liked about this printer is the user friendly features, it is really cheap to maintain since it uses plain paper, this made my printing very cheap.

Fast; Reliabble; Low energy consumption; Compatible with existing systems

You need to change the ribbon after some time

Purchased this printer for use as a salad prep area printer. We use two other printers (same model) in our kitchen, and they have proven themselves reliable. Durable, easy to change the ribbon and paper. And work well with our IBM SurePOS terminals.

Ordered this for a business that needed a kitchen printer. Works perfectly and easy to install on POS

It's interesting when you accidentally print to the wrong printer and end up getting a web page on 3" roll paper in black and red.

This printer is a workhorse; We have been using it for 4 years with no maintenance other than changing the ribbon and paper

Slower and less quiet than a thermal printer

used 5 years alredy

Cool
