    I've been smiling all day over this one.
    WW, It wouldn't hurt for the seller to endorse the manual with the shop name, date of purchase and a signature.
    Cheers,

    It would be interesting to query the legal status of a store issuing receipts that are known to fade with the ACCC, and find out just what the case is with a blank piece of thermal paper!

    Spot on WW!

    SWMBO and I were discussing this very point the other day.

    This is what I have also been doing for years. This also gives me a quick reference to see what I own and not purchase a duplicate item if memory fails me .

    It is stupid that they give you something that fades away. I always thought that to maintain the warranty you needed to keep the original proof of purchase.

    I would hate to see the argument if a photocopy of the "original" thermal receipt was not accepted under a warranty claim!

    Most warranties ask for original proof of purchase. They could possibly be within their rights to refuse a copy. Dont know about a certified copy. You would think, in this day and age, they could come up with something better than a vanishing receipt. Ahhh retailers, what would we do without them?

    Going with the axe-weilder and WW on this one. Ask for a tax invoice. Having said that, it may be worth checking the Bunnies receipt as it may constitute the same.

    If that's the case it's back to square one.

    Just found a couple of bunnies receipts from 2010 this morning and they are still legible if a little faded. Perhaps the sales girl was a saboteur.

    The Bunnies receipts do not last long in the car boot.

    Plain paper printers require ink, either in the form of an inkjet that blocks up or runs out or in the form of a ribbon that jams or runs out.
    Thermal printers are more reliable, shame about the life of the output.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I wonder if there is a "fixer" you can spray on! Kinda like photographic stop bath or something! Glen 20 maybe?
