The THERMAL paper that I used for the Silent 700s was
"white" and very
slowly changing to yellow or brown. Didn't hold up very well to heat
and/or sunlight.
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.
