A regular printer, a binder, and a three-hole punch work fine. As a bonus, the printer is also useful in other ways, and any mementos produced with it will last in a way thermal paper never really does.

Yes, it does, and we have one for some recipes. It’s bulkier than these would be, and we don’t have a lot of counter space. Also doesn’t solve the disposable problem. We have plastic sheets to protect the pages which works good enough, and it’s easy to print new pages if some get soiled anyway.

I don’t want mementos, I want disposable references.

It’s also not that big of a deal if this isn’t feasible, because the binder works fine, the phone works fine. This is just sparked a “hey, what if…” idea is all.
