About Our Epson Printer Ribbons

Paper Rolls Plus supplies a wide variety of Epson printer ribbons to businesses all across the country. Though most commonly used in restaurant kitchen printers, Epson impact ribbons work in any business that relies on an impact dot-matrix printer.

Every ribbon we carry is manufactured using top-quality, high-density nylon to ensure consistent ink delivery, long life, and reliable performance. Each ribbon is individually sealed in plastic before boxing.

With over 30 years of industry experience, our team ensures prompt delivery and expert guidance to help you find exactly the right ribbon for your machine.

Industries We Serve

Epson impact ribbons are the backbone of kitchen printing systems in many industries. Common applications include:

  • Restaurants & Bars — Black/red kitchen order tickets let cooks instantly spot substitutions printed in red ink
  • Retail & POS — Reliable receipts for any point-of-sale environment
  • Hotels & Hospitality — Front-desk and room-service printing
  • Convenience Stores — Fast, dependable transaction printing
  • Healthcare & Clinics — Patient forms and labels requiring impact printing
  • Warehousing & Logistics — Multi-part invoice and packing slip printing

Why Black / Red Ribbons?

The Epson ERC 30/34/38 black/red ribbon is our most popular product — and for good reason. In restaurant kitchens, this dual-color ribbon allows POS systems to print standard menu items in black while automatically printing customer modifications, substitutions, or special instructions in red.

This simple color distinction dramatically reduces order errors, speeds up kitchen workflow, and improves the overall dining experience. It's an industry-standard setup trusted by thousands of restaurants nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Epson M188B uses the ERC 30/34/38 printer ribbon, available in black/red, black-only, and purple from Paper Rolls Plus. The black/red version is the most commonly paired with this model in restaurant kitchen environments. SKU: ERC30BR.
Black/red ribbons are the industry standard in restaurant POS systems. They allow the printer to output standard menu items in black ink while automatically printing customer modifications, substitutions, or allergen notes in red — giving kitchen staff an instant visual cue without reading each ticket word-for-word. This reduces order errors and speeds up kitchen throughput significantly.
Every box of Epson printer ribbons from Paper Rolls Plus contains 12 ribbons. Each individual ribbon is factory-sealed in its own plastic wrap to preserve ink quality and prevent drying — so you only open what you need when you need it.
These are different ribbon cartridge models designed for different printer series. The ERC 30/34/38 is the most widely used and fits dozens of Epson TM-U and M-series printers. The ERC 23, ERC 27, and ERC 31 fit their corresponding Epson printer models. The best way to confirm compatibility is to check your printer's model number or contact our team at 1-877-971-1010.
