I was using thermal paper for folder labels for a while, but noticed
that they faded within a year. The closer they were to the light source,
the faster they faded. Although my understanding is that it's the heat
and not the light that causes the problem.
Same goes for any receipts I get from stores. If it's an item with a
warranty, I always make a photocopy of the receipt to make sure it's
readable if I need to prove when I purchased the item.

How long is the data readable on Thermal Print paper? Some Manufacturers
quote a timetable but I would like some feedback on experiences.
