80mm Receipt Printers – Affordable Models in 2021

80mm receipt printers are thermal printing devices that do not require ink, using thermal paper to directly print invoices, receipts, and labels. These models account for 70-80% of the receipt printer market share in retail stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and eateries in Vietnam. Compared to 58mm (mobile printers), 80mm offers a wider printing area, suitable for standard invoices and detailed receipts.

##What are 80mm receipt printers and why are they popular?

80mm receipt printers are thermal devices that use 80mm wide thermal paper rolls, requiring no ink or ribbon. They operate by heating the print head onto the paper, creating clear black and white images. Key advantages include low operating costs (only paper needed), fast printing speeds of 100-300mm/s, high durability (2-5 years), and easy maintenance.

The 80mm size is chosen for its balance between dimensions (fitting standard A6 invoices) and cost. 58mm printers are compact but print less information; 112mm printers are larger but consume more paper and power. 80mm is an international standard (ISO 1413) supported by most POS software.

##What are the popular types of 80mm receipt printers today?

The Vietnamese market currently features 3 main groups of 80mm printers:

• Desktop Printers: Xprinter Q80C, Rongta RP335U, Sunmi T2, Bixolon SRP-380 — power consumption 100-150W, speed 150-300mm/s, price 2-5 million VND. Suitable for retail stores, restaurants, cafes.
