I always wanted to tackle this use case with receipt printers, those thermal narrow paper rol ones. But those things are freaking expensive!

- literalAardvark 1y agoThermal paper has some pretty horrible effects on your health, I'd avoid that.
- whartung 1y agoJust curious if the folks at CVS chart particularly high on these horrible effects, considering the no doubt thousands of feet of receipts they handle each day there. For those unaware, at the CVS Pharmacy if you walk in and buy so much as a pack of gum, you're likely to walk out with at least 3 feet of receipt. They use them to tack on ads and coupons.
- literalAardvark 1y agoProbably, idk if there are such specific studies. The thermal sensitive layer contains very large amounts of BPA in a dusty form that will easily contaminate your hands. BPA is a major endocrine disruptor. They might say BPA-free, which would be technically correct, but that just means they'll use a near identical BPA variant that isn't proven to be an endocrine disruptor yet. Handle with care, wash your hands, don't put them in the kitchen.
