The thing is, we definitely could have 100% reliable printers with good reparabilty, but capitalism gotta capitalism
Just get a color laser printer, learn how to refill toner carts and buy or flash the chips. Even a monkey can do that! /s
Scraping those fucking chips off the cartridges like a crackhead scraping resin is a nightmare.
we should have stopped making new printers after the HP LaserJet 4, it’s all been downhill since then
With how much more reliable and easy to use 3d printers are, I’m saying we need to move on to 4d printers
I mean you could. It would be slower more expensive and less practical than inkjet or laser printing, but there is nothing keeping you from fixing a piece of paper in the 3d printer and have it “write” on it with the molten plastic.
PC LOAD LETTER …is still a thing….
2d printers are hellspawns. Period.
