HP9120 electrostatic paper source? Message #1 Posted by Alex Knight on 25 June 1999, 3:19 p.m. Does anybody have any idea of a source for the silver-colored paper that's needed for the HP9120A printer that sits on top of a 9100 calculator? The printer uses a static discharge to burn the characters into the silver-colored paper - standard thermal paper won't work. Any suggestions on a source for such paper (no matter what size, it can always be cut down) are appreciated!

I don't know whether it's still available, but you might try asking in newsgroups or websites that collect Sinclair / Timex memorabilia.
