Technical Specifications

SP700 Family – Which Variant Do You Need?

Three variants, same printer format, different ink specifications:

• SP700 Black (SP700B, €32.50/5-pack) — black ink only — standard kitchen docket printing
• SP700 Black/Red (SP700BR, €32.50/5-pack) — two-colour black and red printing (current product)
• SP700 Indelible Laundry (SP700BLDRY, €37.50/5-pack) — indelible black ink — for laundry and dry cleaning printers

Check the colour of your current ribbon before ordering — if it has a red band alongside the black, you need the black/red variant. If it is all black, use the black-only variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I need black/red or black-only?
Check your current ribbon — if it has a red band alongside the black ink section, you need the black/red variant. If it is entirely black, use the SP700 Black (SP700B). You can also call us on +353 (0)1 4433964 and we’ll confirm from your printer model.

Q: Does this ribbon fit all Star SP700 models?
Yes — the 3157FN ribbon fits the Star SP712, SP717, SP742 and SP747 and other SP700 series models. If you have a different Star printer model, call us on +353 (0)1 4433964 to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the SP700 and ERC 30/34/38 ribbons?
They are different ribbon formats for different printer brands. The SP700 (3157FN) fits Star SP700 series printers. The ERC 30/34/38 fits Epson TM-U series and compatible dot matrix printers. Always match the ribbon to your specific printer model.

Q: Will this ribbon work with my thermal printer?
No — this ribbon is for dot matrix (impact) printers only. Thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper and do not require ink ribbons.

Q: Can I order in bulk beyond a single 5-pack?
Absolutely — we supply Irish hospitality businesses, retailers and offices from single packs to bulk quantities. Call us on +353 (0)1 4433964 for bulk pricing on the SP700 black/red ribbon (SKU SP700BR). Orders over €50 + VAT qualify for free delivery across Ireland.
