Doesn't thermal ink basically fall off the paper in a few weeks? At least receipts and such fade pretty quickly.

Nah, definitely not weeks. They say it could deteriorates after a few years, but I have some printed scores from 2024 that still looks good.

So yeah, in my experience it's good enough for a couple of years, but it's not for permanent things you want to keep forever.
