Pros: faster, quieter, better quality, don't need to know how to load ribbon when it runs out. Cons: fancy paper, fades over time, destroyed by even minor heat

We switched from dot matrix receipts to thermal a few years ago and there were several very vocal complaints about the relative impermanence of a thermal receipt.
- chucksmash 5y agoReading the thread for "minor hear" There was essentially no reasonable distance at which we could store the to-go pizzas from their accompanying thermal receipts where information the receipts contained would be recoverable.
- drewzero1 5y agoGood point, I forgot about food. We don't sell anything hot, but a lot of our customers work out of trucks or vans and some complained that the receipts were unreadable after leaving them in their vehicles in the summer.
