Depending on the content, I think a scrapbook of daily updates would be a fascinating collection for my kids to one day look through. Making interesting collections of news would outweigh the wastefulness of the experience (it's far more conservative than a daily paper).



It's thermal paper, which tends not to last very well. This is especially a problem for medical information. (http://www.mdsr.ecri.org/summary/detail.aspx?doc_id=8155)


Well, a daily paper gives me a lot more information... I could sit and read it for an hour...


Most reputable stores recommend photocopying your thermal paper receipts if you'll ever need them for warranties because they fade so fast.


Unfortunately the printouts wouldn't last for more than a few years (Little Printer uses thermal printing).
