    There are inkjet printer with ink costlier than blood /Liter, and there laserprinters, which, afaik even recollect unnecessary ink from the paper, back into the ink cartridge.

    Laser is a lot more sustainable than inkjet.

    The printheads clog, and you need a purge function that wastes so much ink, and doesn’t always work.

    Laser printers are so much better, but I doubt there’s any way to make and open version of one, they’re too complicated. I had an old Samsung laser printer that worked fine, except I couldn’t get cartridges for it anymore. So, it became trash.

    It’s pretty rare that I want to print anything, but when I do, it would be very helpful to have a printer.

    While I like the idea of an open source printer, there’s just no world in which I ever buy another inkjet printer. I print way too infrequently.

      There’s something about supporting something even if you have no personal use of it.

      So yeah I to don’t plan to use one, but I support the hell out of anything that busts the balls of big, entrenched and enshittyfied big tech.
