Epson SIDM Push/Pull Tractor Unit for LQ-590/870, FX-890/A

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got an Epson impact printer in the LQ-590/870 or FX-890/A family, this push/pull tractor unit is one of those “boring but essential” accessories. The main value isn’t speed or features—it’s that it makes forms paper handling reliable when you’re running continuous stationery. If you’re doing invoices, delivery notes, or any workflow that depends on consistent alignment across long runs, buying the proper tractor unit is usually the difference between smooth operation and daily fiddling.

At £58.62 ex-VAT, I’d only buy it if you actually need the tractor feed (or you’ve got a broken/missing unit). If you mostly print occasional documents or on single sheets, it’s hard to justify—paper jamming and misalignment become your problem only when you’re relying on continuous forms. For proper use, though, it’s good value because it’s purpose-built for that specific Epson range, so you’re less likely to end up with compatibility hassle. In short: buy it if your business relies on continuous stationery; skip it if you don’t.
