The stuff we had to endure at school over there was certainly rather robust
- although I recall it not being abrasive as such, but more like baking
parchment in terms of texture (i.e. smooth and rather shiny in appearance). I could certainly see it making its way through a
printer without mishap.
I don't fancy the chances of Charmin through a teletype, but that
stuff... probably fine.
