Problem is that those cartridge nozzles that deposit tiny droplets of ink precisely when and where you want them are pretty close to magic.

They’re about as easy to manufacture as microchips, and they’re also the one part of the inkjet printer that you absolutely need to be on point if you want it to print right.

I’m surprised we don’t have open source laser printers though, that’s still hard but should be doable, if you can source the material for the rollers and figure out the led strip that charges it?

Reminds me of writing my own csv parser that implemented escapes properly. The one everyone else went with of course was written in regex, so it was faster… But broke if there were escaped newlines.
