“Help! We Need
New Receipts ASAP!”
Come to Your Clients’ Rescue with the Fastest, LowestCost, Hardworking New RISO ComColor Inkjet Printer
with Automatic Numbering
I
n a recent move by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), corporate
entities and entrepreneurs are required to use new receipts by October
31, 2013. This is a two-month extension from the original deadline of
August 31, 2013. The BIR cites as the reason for the extension printers’
failure to service the printing requirements of new receipts on time.
The tax bureau accredited 2,250 printers to service the printing
requirements of registered taxpayers.
This means that printers have only two months to address the deluge of receipt
printing requirements from businesses that don’t want to be penalized for using old
receipts.
This scenario is just the kind of challenge the new RISO ComColor 9150 inkjet
printer is built for. With a print speed of 150 pages per minute, this wunder printer
ensures fast turnaround time, accomplishing the bulk job orders in, well, no time.
Its variable data printing (VDP) feature with automatic numbering and capacity to
print on NCR (carbonless) paper combined with its low printing cost—as low as P0.50
per color print and as low as P0.20 per black and white print for 5% ink coverage!—
makes the ComColor seem especially designed for printing receipts.
The BIR directive on the use of new receipts is being implemented “to address
leakage in revenue collection due to the proliferation of fake receipts.” It is also
being done to make sure that businesses will not be “forced” to use the printers
“recommended” by some unscrupulous BIR personnel.
