Any thermal printer that works with ESC/POS commands – including Epson, Star Micronics, Bixolon, and more.
Yes, Printercow supports any paper width from 58mm to 112mm. Just specify it in your HTTP request.
Send base64 encoded images in your HTTP request. We handle scaling and dithering automatically.
No rate limits (for now). Print as fast as your hardware allows. Typical throughput is 30-60 receipts per minute.
Print data is automatically deleted after 30 days. This gives you enough time to debug issues or reprint something if needed, while still keeping data storage minimal. Of course, you can set your own data retention policy in your settings. I chose 30 days because it feels like a good balance between practicality and privacy.
