Just a word of warning, thermal printer paper has dangerous levels of BPA.

  I have heard that so I buy a BPA free one. Not 100% sure it is better but it claims to be. The one I get is actually a little large for the camera so I take a minute to unroll half of it and split it into two rolls that will actually fit inside.

    That’s great to hear, definitely worth the effort for the kids.

  Is that actually true? There are millions of cashiers in the US who handle receipts all day. Is the BPA exposure causing problems for them?

    Yes it is, a few businesses such as Walgreens are moving to replace it over the next few years. https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-thermal-paper https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-... https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-thermal-paper https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-... https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-thermal-paper https://www.pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/bpa-and-bps-in-...
