The Death of Thermal Printing?

   / The Death of Thermal Printing? #21  
As a consultant for 18 yrs I saved every receipt for tax purposes. Many of them became unreadable after a few years. Glad my statue of limitations is up for having to keep em. They are basically blank sheets of paper now.

I know the IRS wouldn't give a hoot about the fact that they don't store well. Always wondered how that would pan out if audited.

I use to be a thermal printer technician. Can only imagine the levels I have been exposed to.

I read another related, recent “study”, claiming banknotes, aka, $ bills , are also dangerous for our health as they measured the same BPS, (and also cocaine) on almost all bills. The “study” hypothesis is that people put receipts in their wallets touching their money , and so it transfers to the bills. 🙄
Something else to worry about.
Another reason for a digital currency society

I hope I'm long gone when digital currency becomes the norm. I don't like the prospect of every transaction being logged somewhere.
That having been said, I'm sure there are all sorts of germs and other nasty things on currency.

I usually buy the small double patty cheeseburger deal at McDonald's and get another for one dollar. I live alone and often buy six or eight burgers that way. Two to three burgers make a meal. Most times times each burger has a receipt stuck to the paper it's wrapped in. Rarely one receipt only, is stuck to the outside of the bag. The receipts have stickum on the back. Next time I buy a bag, I intend to subject the first one to the fingernail test.

I wish thus thread would have been around 2 months ago, before I bought a thermal adding machine.
