Thermal, from my understanding, is what most receipts are made of. Glossy on one side, matte on the other. Apparently they had 8 1/2” rolls for fax.

I see a box of 12 going for $96 USD on POS Supply.

This is a rather late reply from me, so thank you to those who put forward suggestions.

Attached is a sample of the thermal paper I’m currently using - bright white but still at least is reasonable for archival. Also some gentle Teletype humour on the copy…

Am I reading the prices correctly?
$75 per roll? $300 per roll?
Crazy!
Also what is thermal paper?
Don't they have anything that is just plain old paper?
Sound like it is chemically treated to react to heat instead of using ink?

Should I mount a blow torch to my type basket to heat the type bars? (just kidding)
