Casio FP-602 and the FP-10 printer

[Geoff Quickfall]

I have a fully functioning 602 programmable Casio calculator, the printer and the interface for the cassette deck.

All work but I only have one roll of the 'spark printer' paper. Anyone know of a source for spark paper.

This is not thermal paper but aluminum coated paper (wikipedia: spark printing).

Found 20 rolls on eBay. Should be enough for a few lifetimes.



Cheers, Geoff

I've been searching for this paper for a long time, no success. I once bought another FP 10 for the only reason that it came with a couple of paper rolls. So if you can get those on ebay at a reasonable price buy them. Reasonable price means much more money than for thermal paper.

PS: how is planning for Vancouver doing?

Hi Geoff,

2 years ago i bought a 5 pack from Ribbons Unlimited ( http://www.ribbonsunlimited.com ) for 9.95 : EA22R Casio HR10 Thermal paper 5PK Rolls. The total including shipping to Europe was 15.94.

While the description says 'Thermal' it is aluminium coated !
It works fine in my FP-10.

Cheers, Marc.

Hi Geoff,

I just saw the price went up to 14.95 for 5 rolls.

Cheers, Marc.

Having recently come into possession of one of these printers, I'm on the look out for some of the paper rolls.

I wonder if rolls for a Sinclair ZX Printer (maybe sold by Timex in the USA) could be cut down to size, as they might be easier to find.
