@sjw @matrix The brother tonner printers are very good.

@sjw @matrix I use a Brother HL-1210W monochrome lazor printer for large volume office prints and a Canon TS305 inkjet for when I need colour or fancy (like for business letters etc.). Brother is - amazingly - more of a hassle to maintain since its filter binaries are proprietary and 32bit only even if I save a lot on toners. Canon did good with cnijfilter2 tbh

@takao @matrix yeah Canon is now the brand I recommend. Very good experience and decently well built.

@sjw @matrix @takao their MRI scanners are real nice too, way better upkeep than Siemens

@Paultron @matrix @takao I mean a German company named after cum isn't setting a very high bar...

@sjw @matrix @takao they're a good company but are overpriced and own the market through a huge and entrenched institutional marketing and sales team touring like .5% performance gains over the rest of the market for 50% more price

@sjw @matrix @takao if you pay me .13¢ a go ill draw whatever you want and take a photo of it with my phone im pretty much the best printer available on the free market tbh

@Lyx @matrix @Owl @Owl @takao 13/100 of a cent? I feel like you could at least charge 1¢ instead of 0.13¢

IF I WAS DAT NIGGA I'D HAVE STRAIGHT BROKE HIS ASS FOOL DEAD ASS I AIN'T JOKIN' CUH FUH DAT NIGGUH CUH, AWN MUH MAWMA

@sjw @matrix @Owl @Owl @takao oh no its 13¢ im just stupid. Here give me a second ill give you a free sample

@sjw @matrix @Owl @Owl @takao @hachi

@sjw @matrix I'm still cheating and injecting ink from a bottle into used ink cartridges though.

My unit keeps a FIFO buffer of a number of IDs for cartridges you already used and it will claim it's empty regardless of whether this used to be factually correct in the past, but you can bypass this easily (though the internal software will keep crying about it if you try to check the ink levels)

@sjw @matrix I can't seem to find a single project or even an independent company that's attempting to reduce all of the hassles of 2D printing. Is competition impossible?

@berkberkman @matrix Canon makes some decent ones.
They have good Linux drivers too.
