Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PC687 ribbon the same as the ERC-32?
Yes — PC687 is the model reference code used by many suppliers for the ERC-32 format ribbon. They are the same cassette format and are interchangeable. If your cash register manual references either code, this ribbon will fit.
Can I order PC687 ribbons in bulk for multiple tills?
Absolutely. We supply PC687 purple ink ribbons to multi-site retailers and hospitality businesses across Ireland. Contact us directly for volume pricing if you’re ordering 10 packs or more.
What’s the difference between the ERC-32 and ERC-30 or ERC-38 ribbons?
The ERC-32 is a specific cassette format used in certain Sharp, Casio, and Olivetti cash registers — it is not interchangeable with ERC-30 or ERC-38 ribbons, which are wider and used in different printer families. Always check your cash register model before ordering.
Will this ribbon fit my Sharp XE-A cash register?
The PC687 is compatible with many Sharp XE-A series cash registers that use the ERC-32 format. We’d recommend checking your model number against our compatibility list or contacting us to confirm before ordering.
Are these ribbons safe for use in food service environments?
Yes. The PC687 purple ink ribbon is widely used in Irish cafés, delis, and food service counters. The ink is fully enclosed within the cassette and does not come into direct contact with food surfaces.
Can the PC687 ribbon cassette be recycled in Ireland?
The plastic cassette and nylon ribbon are not currently accepted in standard Irish kerbside recycling. We’d recommend checking with your local authority for specialist disposal options. Contact us if consumable take-back is a priority for your business.
