I've seen ELECTROSTATIC printers with silvery aluminized electrostatic 
paper.  Didn't hold up well to crumpling.  Such as 
http://www.trs-80.org/trs-80-quick-printer/
or the HP 9120

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.


The Gavilan had a printer that was thermal OR could take an ink ribbon 
cartridge.  When used with thermal paper AND the ink, the quality was 
significantly better than either thermal or ink.
