    Most thermal paper isn’t recyclable though, the chemicals that allow the heat to print onto them can’t be easily recycled. A simple Brother laser printer would be a better option for most people if they’re just printing black text

      I actually did not know that. Apparently there’s some eco-friendly thermal paper, I’m gonna look into this. Thanks for pointing it out.

      Yeah but they mean a toner laser printer. Not a thermal receipt printer. I’m assuming they say thermal because it melts the toner to the paper.
