[GreenKeys] TT Paper Rolls

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

In short: In spite of what the listing says, it has got to be recyclable,
and it's definitely not for thermal printers.

Longer:

This is the exact same paper I ordered a while back from CleanIt Supply
when it was a bit cheaper (I know it's the same because it's the same
catalog number, PM06210). In spite of the description mentioning that it's
for thermal printers, I can assure you that it is not for thermal printers.
Sure, maybe it *fits* some thermal printers, but it would be useless in
them since it's just regular paper.

I'm also not sure why it wouldn't be considered recyclable because there's
nothing special about it-- it seems like basic paper to me. It almost has
the same texture as newsprint, though maybe just a bit thicker. I have put
plenty of this stuff in the recycle bin, so if it's not recyclable the
sorters I'm sure have had a fun time extracting it (I've wondered if they
ever think about what they're sorting and why all this typewritten
continuous feed paper keeps coming down the line). Since the listing also
states that it is for thermal printers, I wouldn't trust it when it states
it's not recyclable. I sometimes wonder if distributors even know what
they're selling to people half the time and if they just make up details
about an item to ensure it sells to the widest group of people as possible.

CleanIt Supply's price used to be under $6.00 each plus shipping, which I
think ended up being around $6.80 per roll with shipping when I bought
twelve. They've jacked up the price now, so it's good to know about this
other supplier.

This is CleanIt Supply's listing (much more expensive now than it used to
be-- the OfficeWorld listing is a better deal now especially with free
shipping on orders over $49):
