# 🧾 Receipt Printer Biz Cards!
*My card I made for the Socratica Symposium W25 event and is a sample of what the code can do*
> [!NOTE]
> Why carry boring paper cards when you can *print on demand* and watch people's faces light up?
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Optimized for Star TSP100III(U) using 80mm paper on 72mm print width. Other printers may need tweaking!
## ✨ What's this?
A dead-simple web app that turns your thermal receipt printer into a business card factory! Stand out at your next event with cards that are actually *interesting*!
## 🔥 Coolest Features
- **One-click printing** from any browser
- **Photo optimization** that actually works on thermal paper
- **QR codes** that don't look like garbage
- **Live preview** so you don't waste paper
- **Zero installation** - just open the HTML file
## 🚀 How to Use
1. Open index.html
2. Upload your face
3. Type your details
4. Hit print
5. Watch jaws drop
> [!TIP]
> I print via USB from Windows using STAR's utility ([download here](https://starmicronics.com/support/download/starprnt-intelligence-software-full-v3-7-2/)), but network/CUPS works too!
> [!TIP]
> I find having an image already in black and white yields the best results for image printing. I use an already B&W image of myself that works great. For THE BEST RESULTS, use an image of you with a white or transparent background.
## 💸 Why This Rules
- **SO CHEAP** - thermal paper costs pennies
- **MEMORABLE** - who else has receipt cards?
- **ON-DEMAND** - print only what you need
- **HACKABLE** - tweak the CSS to your heart's content

Made with ❤️ while wondering why business cards are still boring in 2025
