Three Olives posted:The thing that baffles me is if printing weren't so awful I feel like people in general would do a lot more of it instead of swearing off printers for good. this thread inspired me. i have needed a new home printer for a while so i did a bit of research last night and found this gem on sale at staples. it was an insane deal, less than half price at $99. i've finally done it, i have escaped inkjet hell and am smooth sailing in dirt cheap toner country!

Chiming in to say I started a printers thread in SH/SC a short while back and this post from it is still one of my favourite I've ever read on SA:1gnoirents posted:Hey its the thread for me. I "work with" a variety of printer models, mfp copiers, etc. All lasers because its for various business use.

I regularly dealt with Ricoh repair techs for work and they seemed like the happiest IT adjacent workers I’ve ever met. It’s like they knew they were set for life, regardless of the fact that they were repairing those abominations of hell on the daily. Like they’d ask “hey, can you check if such and such part came in?” “No? Nice, three hour lunch for me!” Laslow fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Aug 23, 2019 |

The popular thing in my area is now Riso/risograph/aka lazy print screeners printer. The way they described the color cartridges sound like the ultimate printer scam. Thankfully no one at work had learned about these and requested one.

Good printers cost money. If you buy a $1,200 printer, it will work well. I used to use a Brother laser printer that could do up to 10,000 pages at a time before heating became a concern. I'd just put a big fan by it and it would keep up. That included printing alternating regular paper and peel off sticker sheets for packing slips. It does cost good money though. Regular printers do suck though. I agree with that. I fight with my printer all the time. I don't want a touch screen, I just want a decent sheet feeder for scanning/copying.

shame on an IGA posted:ahahahahaha no gently caress Zebra. I agree with your sentiment. Zebra's are absurd printers. They do work well though. Expensive stuff is hilariously expensive. Way back in college I used to use a $120,000 RIP station with an imagesetter for printing film for making offset plates. It worked very well. It was just terrifying to use. One wrong key press and you'd be thrown out of school for breaking it. No one knew how to fix it. I'm pretty sure it ran on an OS that looked like Windows 95 but was a ripoff. I know you're thinking OS2 but it wasn't that. It made no sense in all regards. You could do separations like crazy though. It even did stochastic dithering up to 1220 dpi if you so chose. Now I feel old and sad and the 90's were apparently a decade that people were born in.
