THE REFERENCE SHELF
Paper & claims
Thermal, bond and multipart paper are not interchangeable formats
Confirm the printer’s required media type before using a price or width comparison. Similar-looking white rolls can have different printing requirements.
A thermal receipt is not an archival promise
Keep record-retention requirements separate from a roll’s listed length and price. This site has not tested fading or certified a paper for a retention policy.
BPA-free is not the same as a complete chemistry or safety claim
Keep the seller’s exact wording and requested documentation. Do not expand one chemical exclusion into “chemical-free” or a medical safety guarantee.
