POS Consumables

The key to long-term quality printing is in the quality of the consumable used. Just as much effort and dedication is required to develop a Star ribbon capable of both producing quality print, as well as protecting the most valuable working part of the printer – the print head.

Using cheaper compatible ribbons may not only have an immediate effect on the output achieved, but could also have a lasting and detrimental effect on the life and working efficiency of the printer. After having invested in the right hardware, it would be a false economy, to use consumables not matched to the working parts of the printer purchased. Star knows how to produce a quality consumable that a Star printer requires and only genuine Star ribbons are capable of achieving consistent high quality output, offering many years of trouble free service. Please contact us to enquire about your nearest Star consumables distributor.

The quality of the paper or labels used makes a difference. Lower quality paper and label stock can be more abrasive, causing damage to the print head and built-in cutter and can shorten the life of the printer. To keep Star printers in optimum condition, media within the recommended Star specifications should always be used. Standard thermal and matrix paper rolls are available from Star resellers and recommended paper suppliers. Star is also able to supply special paper sizes for Star mPOP as well as our kiosk , mobile and linerless label printer range. Please contact us for paper suppliers in your region.
