Receipt printers are thermal and they print all day long.

Thermal printers use a thin wire that heats up in certain sections. The paper is heat sensitive. Funny though I discovered you can erase a thermal image using a highlighter pen (at old job where clerks had to highlight a section. Ooops!)

The paper is probably more of a danger since thermal paper supposedly is loaded with BPA.
