Luna is adorable! I recently acquired a Brother EP22 and it is fantastic fun. The print is dot matrix and not as dark as yours, but I enjoy it. I've got a typed up page of thermal paper sitting right in front of the window. So far it's been about a month and I don't see any noticable fading. To be fair it is the autumn sun, but time will tell.

I got one of those when they first came out in 1985 or so. it was amazing.

Took it with me everywhere and remember sotting around hotel rooms writing page after page...

yes, I like to keep it on the darkest setting (#3) ... it's bolder and easier to read. Mine is as good as new, except for a few minor scratches. I used it only with thermal paper. I have a new sealed ribbon cassette but I don't want to open it ๐Ÿ˜
