Popular pet grooming software works with standard network printers:
Appointment cards, receipts, vaccination reminders, pet profiles
Grooming notes, invoices, appointment confirmations
Client cards, receipts, marketing materials, reports
Receipt printing, appointment cards, client histories
Standard business card size (3.5" x 2") is most common. Use pre-perforated business card paper for easy separation, or print on cardstock and cut. Avery 8371 is a popular template.
Absolutely! A 5-color or 6-color inkjet produces excellent pet photos. Use glossy photo paper for best results. Many clients love before/after shots of their freshly groomed pets.
For most groomers, a standard printer handles receipts fine. Dedicated receipt printers (thermal) are faster but single-purpose. If you're processing 30+ transactions daily, consider a POS receipt printer like Epson TM-T20III ($180).
For care cards that might get wet (near tubs, etc.), consider laminating important documents or using water-resistant paper. Laser prints are more water-resistant than inkjet, but lamination is best for durability.
