Help!
I have a race in an hour and we don't have any paper for our 503 timer. I have an ALGE P3 and a 705.

All TAG-Heuer timers use similar paper. It is all thermal and the same width. Paper for the CP 705 and the PTB 605 come in bigger rolls than for the others. You can mix and match in a pinch. The best way to use a 505,503, etc with the bigger 705 paper roll is to place the timer on top of a shoe box that has been cut out to let the paper through. Do not try to use the little paper holder that comes with the timer. We stock a little paper for these timers. Try to buy it from RRS.
ALGE paper is electrostatic (the only paper and printers that work outdoors)and is NOT usable in a TAG timer.
SEIKO paper is the same type (thermal) but much wider. You can take a razor blade and cut it to fit the TAG timers. You can get 2 TAG rolls out of a single SEIKO roll if you are careful.
Time TEch paper is true paper and will not work in any of the above timers. Time Tech uses adding machine paper with a ribbon with ink.
