The first paper I bought for 8056 in 1986 was £4.50 for 100 A4 sheets! I'm still using fax supply from 30 years ago, though kept in several depths of black bags when not required.

ALDI et al use thermal paper for till printouts - I kept a receipt for proof of purchase for something in box only to find it had gone complete blank 3 months later.
