Sounds like electrostatic paper, like the kind used in the Radio Shack screen printer for the original TRS-80. If I recall the process, the printer has pins that create a small spark on the paper surface which makes a black mark as the printed element. Most likely in a dot-matrix configuration. Others may have more detail and corrections to my explanation. Jeff Salzman On Sat, Jan 21, 2023, 2:44 AM Jeffrey Jonas via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
I have some rolls of paper with only a generic part number. 8" wide, like a teletype roll but silver/grey metallic coating. I don't think it's thermal. What printer technology used that?
