[Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
[Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
Hey folks, does anyone have any unwanted ZX Printer paper rolls they want to sell? Or know where I can reliably purchase?
Seems that the aluminium paper is near impossible to find with no modern replacements

I weirdly managed to read this topic title as being a call for [Wanted] LOO rolls (presumably the new UK Lockdown measures have set my brain panicking!)

Re: [Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
Things would have to be getting pretty desperate to use ZX Printer paper as toilet roll.
Re: [Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
Do the Alphacom white rolls work? I have a few of these

Re: [Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
Only if you prefer the shiny stuff
The Alphacom is a thermal printer and uses similar technology to fax machines and till printers that also use thermal printers. The printer has thermal heads that heat up when required and the surface of paper turns turns black as a result.

Re: [Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
OK shame though, I thought that might be the case. When I bought my Alphacom a few years ago it was for the express reason that the rolls where still widely available as they are the same size and type as existing till rolls used by retail shops. OP good luck in your hunt.
Re: [Wanted] ZX Printer Paper Rolls
Haha loo rolls, that made me laugh
I managed to secure 5 from a seller on ebay out of sheer luck! Think I will be good for all my printing needs for a while.
An yeah for the ZX Printer it can only take aluminium based paper which is specific to the printer. I think the USA Timex version of the printer takes a normal thermal paper as they (sensibly) revised it

Yeah, over here (in Europe), the Timex printer version is known as the Alphacom printer, hence the references to it.
