Ten Key Printing Calculators Can Use Different Types of Paper

There isn't just one kind of paper a printing calculator can use, so be sure to get the right kind when you start looking for a replacement roll.

When choosing paper for your ten key printing calculator, consider the quality of the paper, the size of the paper roll, the type of printing you need, but first and foremost, check the type of printing calculator you use.

If you haven't picked your calculator yet, then decide what paper you prefer (or need) and pick a machine that uses it.

The most common types of paper that can be used with ten key printing calculators

Standard paper rolls

These are the most commonly used paper rolls for ten key printing calculators. They are usually made of high-quality bond paper and come in a range of sizes, typically 1.5 to 2.25 inches in width and 50 to 150 feet in length.

Thermal paper rolls

Thermal paper is a special type of paper that is heat-sensitive and does not require ink or ribbon to print. It is usually used for receipt printers but can also be used with ten key printing calculators. Thermal paper rolls are typically more expensive than standard paper rolls but offer sharper, clearer printing.

Carbonless paper rolls

Carbonless paper is a two-ply paper that uses a chemical reaction to transfer the impression from the top sheet to the bottom sheet. It is commonly used for duplicate or triplicate receipts and invoices. Carbonless paper rolls can be used with ten key printing calculators, but they are less common than standard or thermal paper rolls.

Standard paper rolls are the most versatile and affordable option, but thermal paper offers higher quality printing. Carbonless paper is a good option if you need to create duplicate or triplicate copies of your calculations.

The SHARP EL-1801PIII is actually sitting on my desk at this very moment. I haven't used a better printing calculator. In fact, I have two of these babies (if you drop the little III at the end). One at the office (1801P) and one in my home office (1801PIII).
