Fax Thermal Paper Older fax machines use thermal paper which comes in rolls. Consumer fax machines have a standard capacity of 8 1/2", and all the rolls are that width. They vary in diameter of roll and diameter of the centre tube. Your machine may require a particular centre tube diameter, so it is a good idea to save the centre tube and bring it to the store when purchasing a new roll.

Fax Film or Fax Ink Ribbon Both terms apply to the rolls of black film which transfer the data to plain paper. Fax film is specific to the machine and has a manufacturer's number. If you do not know the film number, bring the brand and model of your machine to the store so that we can look it up in the database. Due to the wide variety of film available, and the relatively low demand, not all rolls are in stock all the time. You may wish to call first to check, and order in advance. Delivery time is 24-48 hours.

Inkjet fax machines. The newest fax machines use plain paper and inkjet cartridges, or laser toner. Please refer to the Ink cartridges page for more information.
