They want you to keep a record for taxes but just as you would expect they print everything in vanishing ink. The labels are "made of stunner stuff", they can take quite a bit more than toll receipts... I don't know if it is the heat OR the UV that causes the ink to disappear. Maybe you can do a test on that?
