I’ve noticed more wearing gloves and maybe this is why… same with the grocery checkout.

All the hospital patient monitors have Thermal Printers as well as most of the newer equipment with a printer.

I hadn't heard of that issue, I have seen thermal print outs that have turned completely black while in storage.

I wish they would do away with them anyways. When I was travellng I lost a lot of writeoffs because I didn't handle them with kid gloves.

I had parking receipts for work on the dash and not a one was readable…

Now I keep a envelope in the car for receipts.

What’s wrong with switching to regular printer ink like the inkjet printers use?

Most industrial outfits still use thermal printers for making shipping tags today.

Inkjets heads and ink dry out when not used and the bills I recieve that use an inkjet smudge if they get wet
