Widely used for receipt printing, dot matrix printers are the only choice when the demand

is for multi-part output. Other dot matrix printer benefi ts include exceptional durability that

keeps maintenance costs low and economical operation. And the printing ribbon needs

to be changed only occasionally. With Epson dot matrix printers, you also get high quality

results thanks to the 9-pin heads.
