    I’d like to ask a different question: why do people keep buying inkjet printers with horribly expensive ink?

    Is it the case that people print that many photos that getting a hilariously cheaper-per-page laser just not an option, or is there something else that’s causing people to keep buying crappy inkjets with DRM and subscriptions and that somehow require magenta ink to print black when it has separate black ink already?

    Always been confused by the popularity of inkjet printers since they’ve always been kind of awful.

      We pretty much exclusively print photos, for all sorts of things. We never really need to print text pages.

      We didn’t buy a crappy inkjet with subscriptions and DRM though
