Somebody tell me again why we, as a society, still print things? Other than publishing, why do we need printers?
My ailing grandfather has no phome nor computer, I send him letters every month with full colour pictures of myself and family.
That said I use my local print shop because I’d rather pay $0.50 per page than have my $25 inkjet printer cartridge deplete after 10 pages.
This is the part that is downright criminal in my book. I bought a Canon inkjet printer with tanks rather than cartridges; there are some serious disadvantages to think about, but I’ll dump w/e ink I want in that tank until the day it dies thank you very much.
Eventually I’ll have to figure out how to dispose of this fucking thing while it’s still full of ink, but as I always say, “Fuck you, future me!!” 😅
The company I work for went “paperless” and now uses even more paper than before ¯_(ツ)_/¯
For them, it was about revision control. Everything needs be stored and traced electronically but that means reprinting documents every time an order comes up again.
My MIL doesn’t like to read things on the screen, she much prefers paper. So she prints lots of webpages. sigh
