Better copy
Is OP's version a photo of a screen or why does it look like crap?
Looks like a cropped screenshot of a Facebook image
I haven't needed to print anything in a very long time. Most things accept digital documents now.
Rich black uses a mix of cmyk
100% k is more of a grey color
"I need to print tracking dots on all of your documents because the government wants to know what you print."
100% this. You could only print black and white on that printer and you would still be low on cyan.
Aren't those yellow though?
i've heard they use the cyan ink on black and white prints to insert in tracing info like serial number.
This comic inspired a different post on that exact topic.
and its a single $100 cartridge for all the colors combined
After a lifetime of rebuying "cheap" ($30 to $80) color inkjet printers every two years or so, after the print heads get clogged up beyond the printers ability to clean itself, having ink cartridges go bad, being bullied by printer companies to use their far more expensive inks rather than 3rd party more affordable choices, I made the move a year ago to buy a black and white laser printer.
There was a sale on at Amazon at the time, it wasn't a printer company I was familiar with PANTUM, but the laser copier plus an additional 1600 page toner cartridge was $99. It's not multifunction (i've got an old non printing inkjet in a closet I bring out for scanning if I need to), it's only black and white. I only print i dunno, 10 pages a year, and it's perfect. I'm interested to see how long it lasts, but it sits in a little furniture cube, I take it out, print, put it back. I think I found a life hack. Fuck Cyan forever.
My HP inkjet works just fine… from iOS.
But it is like pulling teeth to get it to print from Windows regardless of ink level. I’ve found what I have to do is have the garbage HP dashboard app thing open on just in order to print over WiFi from any other app. And even then, it will sometimes stall out with a doc just sitting at the top of the print queue; never to physically print but unable to be cancelled . 🤬
This would be better if it was "Hey multifunction printer, can you scan this document?"
This is so fucking good
Get a little black-and-white laser printer. Mine only cost about $100, the toner never dries out (unlike ink, which goes bad over time even if you aren't printing anything), and replacing the toner works out cheaper per page than replacing ink.
relies too miuch on the word 'fuck' for effect
Literally uses it once. You telling me you never felt like your printer said that?
people who can't handle cursing have emotional and mental disabilities, you should seek professional psychiatric assistance
I think this might be a bit much but I do think if a cartoon character saying a solitary "fuck" is a big deal than Lemmy probably isn't the place for you.
Nah son, that shit is hilarious.
