Who needs color anyway? A black laser printer is the way to go :)

I once got a used dye sublimation printer because it was cool until I had to replenish the toner-like stuff. Shit’s expensive

Yeah. The vast majority of people have no real reason to own a color printer. Black and white laser does the job and only if you need to print something like photos at home, should you even consider an inkjet.

Even then it depends how many you want to print.

Often will work out cheaper to have somebody else print them and post them to you.

Yeah but it’s almost always something I need quick, like a shipping label or something. It’s really more about convince than anything else for me.

I have a b&w laster printer, an old Kyocera relic from the mid-2000s. Got it from a previous job that was remodeling their offices. I refuse to let go of it, I don’t care how many brown-outs it causes when I’m printing something (seriously, it dims the lights when it fires up).

I’ll only replace it with an equally beefy color laser printer.
