An alternative to consider are dot matrix / impact printers.
They are used in kitchens, as heat sensitive paper doesn't work well there. It's just plain paper and an ink ribbon.
Same underlying protocol as thermal printers, so the code is mostly plug and play.
They often can print in two colours (red and black). And sound like the 1980s.
- user_7832 7mo agoI... thought dot matrix printers were some of the worst for releasing particulate matter into the air? Especially ultra fine particles?
- thomascountz 7mo agoI can't find any information regarding this.
- user_7832 7mo agoThanks, you're right, a quick google shows nothing... I could've sworn reading about how they're very bad... perhaps I was misremembering with standard printers?
