Printers for Receipts and Tickets

When I do my groceries, I can’t help but take note of the cashier’s receipt printer if she is using tm-t88iv from Epson because I happened to see one online. I believed that these new generations of receipt printer must be economical since they are using inks instead of ribbons like the ones used by a dot matrix printer.

Anyway, I also noticed that even the local cinema here in our place is using a ticket printer that uses ink. I guess this is the way of the new generation of receipt and ticket printing! What do you think?
