We also need some sort of way to prevent heads from drying out so quickly.
Printer companies know heads dry out, and they ship tanks with caps / tape for prevent dry out on retail store shelves. But once the tanks are installed, printers just leave the heads exposed to the air. Like a pen without a cap, the tanks dry out.
I print like 5 times a year. So 90% of the time, when I’m replacing a tank, it’s because the damn head dried out.
Repeat after me: plastic does not recycle. It inevitably degrades in the process.
Regarding printers… ink tanks is the only sensible answer.

Laser is the answer. Inkjet dries and clogs the jets if not used often like back when it was invented. Hardly anyone prints like that anymore.
Only problem with laser is the desk size for color laser. If you don’t print very often, and you want color, a laser can take up space.
Community ink tanks, with pipelines to transmit the ink from where it is mined to substations, and on and on.
I want a clam chowder pipe straight into the kitchen.
Water pipelines to the home. Gas pipelines to the home. Ink pipelines to the home. It just makes sense.
The children yearn for the ink mines?
Can’t print your homework? Back to the mine with you!
