Actually, the problem isn't that we haven't nailed 2D printers. The problem is we have. Which is why they have to do artificial bullshit like the LOW CYAN thing to make money selling you ink that you do not actually need.
Yeah. If you get a high-end kyocera or other office printer, that bad boy will print 30k pages a year without complaint. It will cost you $800-$15,000 but it wont make your life hell.
If you spend $79.95 on a hp inkjet, you curse yourself.
My dad keeps replacing his printer when he needs a new ink cart because it's actually cheaper to buy a new printer than ink for the printer he keeps buying. 😵💫
That's not necessarily true. Generally the cartridges shipped with the printers aren't filled entirely, or are otherwise smaller than separately bought ones.
