In detail
Thermal printers are silent, fast, and have no ink to refill — heat-sensitive paper darkens where the print head touches it. Standard receipt and KOT widths are 80mm (most common) and 58mm (compact).
Connection is typically Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB. ZaikaQR connects to any standard ESC/POS-compatible thermal printer over Bluetooth.
Popular models in India: Posiflex, TVS, Epson TM-T82, Atrum. A reliable one costs ₹3,500-6,000.
