got ahold of one of those cheap plastic thermal printers you can get anywhere; and after finding out other apps like thermer and rawbt work WAY better than the stock app, I've been having fun with it! quickly discovered the joys of printing off and reading gopher pages like they're little scrolls. Lots of fun!

Be aware that letters printed in thermal paper tend to banish after a few months, unless you store them away from light and heat. Also, don't touch much the surface because our skin's oils will also deteriorate the paper over time.
I used to print receipts in a similar way, and all of the letters banished in less than a year.
Now I use an USB dot matrix printer instead (Fujitsu FMPR3020) . Not only the ribbons last a long time, but I can use any kind of paper. Specifically for my printer, ink ribbons still manufactured today. · 1 day ago
