How long do thermal print outs last before they become unreadable?

[Haze]

The Brother range is designed for occasional use hence why they are marketed for fixed or mobile use , What difference does it make if it's plugged into your laptop while staying at a hotel or plugged in at Home?

Everyone else in this thread understood what i was asking , Only you think it's odd that someone would use a Printer as a Printer.

. I said it odd using a THERMAL printer as a home printer, not a printer as a printer....

People have been using Thermal Printers as home printers since the 1980's ( /me shrugs )

Any hows considering i lost interest when i found out that you can't buy one for less that £300 i don't know why i'm even still discussing it , That's strange.
