Once you get one open, the material on the fax type paper will be sort
of chalky in nature. Some of the papers use other treated paper too.
I agree with you the silver paper used by the Tek printers was in a
larger roll, and was light sensitive, so had the canister.
did you say that the boxes and material were badged with Tek logos, or
just pile in the shipment of some stuff you got? I recently had a job
where they chucked a case of regular fax paper, which is the size you
describe and I dug it out of the trash and brought it home to use with
my silent 700's.

Thanks Richard, I figure
you would be a good source of info.
I took a quick look at those manuals. The photos show a cassette
assembly which appears to be larger than the 3.25-inch diameter rolls
that I have, plus it looks like the paper is contained inside a
metallic cassette and the manual mentions a metallic light seal strip.
I haven't unwrapped one of the rolls I have yet but they appear to be
simply paper rolls without any sort of cassette container.

Anyone know what equipment would have used these
rolls? Are they most
likely thermal, or something else? Anyone have a use for these? Would
they still be suitable for the original application after 25 years?
The boxes are a bit heavy if someone has a use for these and wants
them.
They are most likely the special dry-print silver paper that was used
in the storage tube copier and video copier products:
