Actually, the problem isn't that we haven't nailed 2D printers. The problem is we have. Which is why they have to do artificial bullshit like the LOW CYAN thing to make money selling you ink that you do not actually need.

    Yeah. If you get a high-end kyocera or other office printer, that bad boy will print 30k pages a year without complaint. It will cost you $800-$15,000 but it wont make your life hell.

    If you spend $79.95 on a hp inkjet, you curse yourself.

    My dad keeps replacing his printer when he needs a new ink cart because it's actually cheaper to buy a new printer than ink for the printer he keeps buying. 😵‍💫

    I rescue commercial laser printers that are being disposed of by companies, service and refurbish them and resell them. Partly for money, partly to keep them out of landfill.

    This makes me and your dad arch-rivals 😬

    I once got an A4/A3 colour laser multifunction, which normally retails for $12k, for $80. All that was wrong with it was a faulty door sensor. I just cut the wires and joined them together permanently. Used it for 3 years then sold it for $500. Never even needed to replace the toners
