I print things still pretty consistently. Random forms that need hard copies to have a wet signature, activity sheets for the kids to color, templates for drilling holes in walls, etc. Make the business a lot less toxic and I think you’ll start seeing printers in more homes again.
My ink printer which has been empty on ink since 2017, is my scanner and nothing else. I think I got that printer free with a mail-in rebate.
Rememeber when they used to just give printers away with almost anything? Buy a camera you get a printer with a mail-in rebate, but a stereo you get a pritner, buy any computer over 400$ and you get a fuckin’ printer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The new model is exactly the same and like 350$ but the amount of money you save on ink is incredible. I ate the high upfront cost because I knew I would be saving on ink.
I got the big bottles of toner powder for like I think 80$ (ebay) which is what the cost of one ink cartridge. So for the cost of an ink cartridge I have 3 1/2 refills worth of powder for my toners.
Also $80 for a cartridge?? holy HECK ink is a ripoff. Wow.
I haven’t purchased ink in so long I forgot the price. I just googled it. Looks like it could range depending on the brand name and the printer you’re getting the ink for could be 15$ could be 60$ depending on full sets or singles but they’re so small and run out so quick. You’d be spending 60$ on like three cartridges for what a laser printer could do for less than half of that. And that would be just your black cartridge. So if all of them ran out that’s about 80$ a set.

Say it with me pow-der based to-ners.
For printing art? :<
That’s why I want a printer, personally. For documents and stuff we can go to the library. Printing kinky furry art, not so much.

Anything. Literally anything. I’ve noticed laser printing for pictures gives that nice quality and it just bumps everything up by a mile. https://www.lexmark.com/en_us/printers/printer/14385/Lexmark-C3224dw
That’s the one I’ve had for almost ten years.

Ooh, good to hear there are laser printers out there that can print good art!
