			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; <a href="http://www.shopdirectsource.com/Thermal-Paper-Rolls-s/25.htm" target="_blank" title="ShopDirectSource.com for Thermal Paper"><img src="http://shopdirectsource.hmmetro.net/wp-content/uploads/fc251a95c64a970.gif" border="0" /></a></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.shopdirectsource.com/Thermal-Paper-Rolls-s/25.htm" target="_blank" title="ShopDirectSource for Thermal Paper"><img src="http://shopdirectsource.hmmetro.net/wp-content/uploads/d2ff0721850f5a0.jpg" border="0" width="114" height="130" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are in the retail or hospitality industries, you are probably using machine that needs thermal paper. Whether your machine processes credit cards, is a complete POS system,&nbsp;or simply a cash register, you have&nbsp;probably noticed that there is a big difference in quality when it comes to the thermal paper you use in these machines.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Tahoma;"><a href="http://www.shopdirectsource.com/Thermal-Paper-Rolls-s/25.htm" target="_blank" title="ShopDirectSource for Thermal Paper"></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thermal paper is available in a wide range of widths and lengths. Obviously, you need to know what size your machine needs. Most machine manuals will recommend a specific size for best results. While roll size is important to the proper functioning of your machine, it can also save you significant amount of money and time. POS thermal paper rolls that have the highest diameter and width accepted by your machine will increase the number of receipts that you will get from each roll and decrease the amount of time you will have to spend changing the rolls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Once you determine the most cost-effective size for your machine, finding the best quality for the price is next in helping you decrease expenses and increase your bottom line. While the machine itself is a primary contributor to the print quality of your receipts, the thermal paper rolls you choose can make a big difference as well. The print quality is especially affected with thermal paper because the &#8220;ink&#8221; is embedded in the paper.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In these economic times, you must be sure that you are getting the best value for your dollar, and shopping on the internet is certainly one of the best ways to compare prices. However, as discussed above, quality just as important a factor in your decision. You must be sure you are working with an experienced, reputable dealer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Direct Source has been supplying thermal paper to a growing number of customers for over 20 years. We stand behind our products with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
