Trip to FedEx the handful of times a year I need to print has served me well for years.

I mean, idk what the Instant Ink plans are like. I just feel like we should be moving away from printing so much shit at the office. Like holy fuck Steven, you don’t need to print out that Sales Estimate so Rosa can look at it. Its in an electronic system just tell her the job number. That shit for real happens all day at my office. People want paper, its their fucken fault as well as the company. And by people I mean the ones okay with this stupid shit.

I picked up a refurbished Xerox b&w laser printer 5 years ago. It never gives me problems, and the toner lasts forever. One of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made.

That’s why I use a B&W Lazer printer, and have dedicated prosumer Canon photo printer for the few times I need color prints.

What’s the catch? Isn’t it a non replaceable messy ink diaper in the bottom of the printer?

You refill the tank with bottles of ink. I haven’t yet had to buy more bottles after two years. They are inexpensive.

I bought a Brother LH-23200 monochrome laser printer in 2016. I bought four toner cartridges for $30 when the first one ran out a few months ago. The only time it has failed to print is when my daughter stole the last sheets of paper from the tray to make drawings.
