[GreenKeys] Funny paper

[Jim Haynes]

A while back Jack gave me a terminal which includes an Extel
printer mechanism.  Some of the Extel printers used ink ribbons,
but some including this one did not.  Instead they used a special
paper developed by 3M which has ink encapsulated in the paper
so that striking it with a tape pallet releases the ink.

Does anybody know if this stuff is still being made and where
it might be obtained?  It might be used in narrow rolls in some
of the point-of-sale printers, althought I think most of those
use thermal paper.
