ERC 30/34/38 (Black/Red) Ink Ribbons (Pack of 5)

ERC 30/34/38 Black/Red Ink Ribbons - Pack of 5 

Premium Ink Ribbons for Crystal-Clear Kitchen Prints

When your kitchen printer runs out of ribbon in the middle of a Saturday night rush, it's not just inconvenient—it costs you money. That's why smart hospitality operators across Ireland keep spare ERC 30/34/38 ribbons on hand.

These high-quality black and red ink ribbons deliver sharp, legible prints every time, ensuring your kitchen staff never miss an order detail. Compatible with Epson and other dot matrix kitchen printers, they work seamlessly with 1 ply till rolls, 2 ply till rolls, and 3 ply till rolls for non-thermal bond paper printing.

Why Irish Restaurants Trust These Ribbons

A Dublin restaurant manager told us they used to buy cheaper ribbons to save a few euro—until they realized those "bargain" ribbons were 30% shorter and ran out twice as fast. After switching to our full-length ERC ribbons, their actual cost per print dropped significantly.

Here's what makes these printer ribbons different:

• Full-length ribbons: Longer lasting than budget alternatives, better value per print
• Dual-color capability: Black and red ink for highlighting special instructions or allergen warnings
• Universal compatibility: Works with Epson TM-U200/U210/U220/U230, Star, Bixolon, and most dot matrix kitchen printers
• Consistent ink flow: No fading or streaking mid-service
• Pack of 5: Stock up and save—the more you buy, the lower the unit cost

Perfect for Commercial Kitchens Across Ireland

Whether you're running a busy gastropub in Temple Bar, a seafood restaurant in Howth, a hotel kitchen in Killarney, a chipper in Bray, or a takeaway in Limerick, reliable kitchen printer supplies are essential. These ink ribbons ensure your order tickets print clearly every time, reducing errors and keeping your kitchen running smoothly during peak hours.

They're trusted by hospitality businesses throughout:

Dublin & Leinster: Dublin city, Dún Laoghaire, Malahide, Bray, Swords, Drogheda, Dundalk, Kilkenny, Wexford, Naas, Athlone
Cork & Munster: Cork city, Limerick, Waterford, Tralee, Killarney, Ennis, Cobh, Clonmel, Kinsale
Galway & Connacht: Galway city, Salthill, Sligo, Westport, Castlebar, Ballina
Ulster (ROI): Letterkenny, Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Bundoran

Avoid Costly Kitchen Downtime

Running out of ink ribbons during service isn't just frustrating—it's expensive. Orders get delayed, mistakes happen when staff try to read faded prints, and you might even need to close the kitchen temporarily.

A Galway hotel kitchen learned this the hard way during a wedding reception. Now they keep at least two spare packs on hand at all times. Smart operators stock up when they order, taking advantage of volume pricing—the more packs you purchase, the lower the cost per ribbon.

ERC Ribbons vs. Generic Alternatives: What's the Difference?

Not all dot matrix printer ribbons are created equal. Generic or off-brand ribbons might seem like a bargain, but they often come with hidden costs. A Waterford café owner switched back to quality ERC ribbons after cheap alternatives caused constant print quality issues and actually increased their overall ribbon costs by 25% due to faster depletion.

Our ERC 30/34/38 ribbons offer superior ink saturation, longer ribbon life, and consistent performance—meaning fewer replacements and better value over time.

Common Questions About ERC 30/34/38 Ink Ribbons

Will these work with my Epson kitchen printer?
Yes, ERC 30/34/38 ribbons are designed for Epson TM-U200, TM-U210, TM-U220, and TM-U230 models, plus compatible dot matrix printers from other brands like Star and Bixolon.

What's the difference between cheap ribbons and these?
Budget ribbons are often shorter in length, meaning they run out faster. Our full-length ribbons provide better value per print and more consistent ink quality throughout their lifespan.

How long does one ribbon typically last?
It depends on your print volume, but most medium-sized restaurants get 2-4 weeks from a single ribbon. High-volume kitchens in busy Dublin or Cork locations may go through them faster.

Can I use these with thermal paper?
No, these ribbons are specifically for impact/dot matrix printers using bond paper (1-ply, 2-ply, or 3-ply). Thermal printers don't use ribbons at all—they use heat-sensitive thermal paper instead.

How many ribbons should I keep in stock?
We recommend keeping at least 2-3 spare ribbons on hand, especially if you operate 7 days a week or have high order volumes during peak seasons like summer tourism or Christmas.

Do you deliver to islands and remote areas?
Yes, we deliver to all areas of the Republic of Ireland, including islands and coastal communities. Delivery may take an extra day or two to more remote locations.
