Yes, I have ruined a few printouts using the isopropanol method ;-) . On that subject, can
anyone recommend a source for the thermal paper used in the Silent?

slowly changing to yellow or brown. Didn't hold up very well to heat

Another thing that ruins thermal printouts is propan-2-ol (isopropyl
alcohol). It turn the paper black as if it has been heated.
Since I normally have a can of said solvent on my bench for cleaning
disk drive heads, connectors, etc, I have to be careful if there's a
thermal printer about.
