D'you know I haven't seen new thermal fax machines on sale for a while - are they still out there?

One of our branch offices got one from Viking a little while ago.

Why















You asked this last night mate and no one had a clue face it you are going to have to throw out that mountain of thermal fax paper you are hoarding

[mcflurry]

I got one in 1995 at an office auction for £12. It did me proud until last year when it finally met its maker...

Lots of them currently listed on eBay.

Heaven knows why anyone would want one though

Er No
Although it states that it is thermal, you still have to use a ribbon

The obvious question is.... What make and model do the fax rolls you have fit into?

Its a 16 year old amstrad however all A4 fax rolls fit sometimes you have to pull 5ft off to get the machine to close

[mcflurry]

A4 Paper costs £1.99 for 500 pages. Is it really worth keeping a 16 year old fax? Maybe look at fax software for your pc as an alternative?

The 16 year old thermal fax machine is the most economical fax money can buy (in my case that money cannot buy )
1 is you only buy the roll.
2 is you donot have to buy ink.
3 you do not have to buy a ribbon.
4 its simple to use.

Manufactures like you to spend money in buying refills and this Is why I cannot find one, THEY HAVE STOPED MAKING THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE MAINTENANCE FREE.
Being they could not make even more money.
over.

wouldn't mind getting hold of one either as we get too many junk faxes. Another reason for pure thermal faxes

have you signed up the the fps? ( www.fpsonline.org.uk/fps/ ) my dad's business went from getting 5+ junk faxes per day to the same number per year.

Tried phoning all sorts of numbers which suppossedly took you off a list but none of them really work. A bit like the spam filter for hotmail, but at least for hotmail it makes me feel better that I'm getting any mail at all!!
