Epson: Impact, hybrid and document printers
Epson impact, hybrid and inkjet printers handle different documents than just a thermal receipt. Impact models print orders and slips; hybrid platforms combine receipt and document functions; inkjet models produce transactional documents. Each technology responds to a different type of support and way of use.
