Thermal paper does not use ink, nothing would be wasted even if printing 100% black.

- NeonVice 7y agoA waste of ink, no, but somewhat a waste of thermal paper.

A receipt with more black printing on it takes more power to print. Not all receipt printers are thermal, however: a lot are thermal-transfer, that uses heat to transfer ink from a film to the paper. That stuff looks much better, and lasts much longer than the crappy thermal-printed receipts.
