Here’s my obligatory Fuck You to ink jet printers and cartridges.

A few months ago I finally got a Brother b/w multi function laser printer and not having to refill Magenta or Black regularly is no longer, and my mind is at peace.

    Mine just had a cartridge explode all over it and my counter. I took the hint and threw it out with no replacement.

    My mom hates it since she can't just drop by and have me print something, I've never felt more free.

    I realized a while back that I print so rarely that I'm better off just using a print shop for the rare occasions when I do need to print something. They are priced for massive orders, so printing a few pages can cost under a dollar (though tbf, I haven't needed to print anything since inflation got crazy, so not sure if that still applies). Then they can deal with DRM ink and all that BS.

    We'll see how things go when my daughter gets to essay age, though.

    Those things last forever too lol. I'm admittedly not a heavy printer but the test cartridge that came with mine lasted me for like 5 years. I think I'm still only on my 2nd or 3rd toner cartridge ever!
