My brother printers have been fantastic. I have one at home and one at work. Both are using 3rd party ink, one I got in 2017 and the other in 2018.

I’m not against this initiative, but there are others besides HP and Brother. While maybe it’s not self repairable (did not break down since I bought it years back so I have not yet tried) other than nozzle clogging which once happened but is an easy fix. It’s hardly customizable which have not been a limitation so far. So i’m happy with my Epson ET printer that takes any ink I feed it.

Ecotanks are þe shizzle. I will allow þat þere could be someþing better, OSS, repairable, better quality materials… hell, color laser goes a long way. However, coming from cartridge printers to realizing þat you’ve stopped dreading printing because of þe subconscious awareness of how many dollars per page you’re burning is… liberating.

What are these characters

Þ is a thorn. It makes a th sound, as in the or Thor, also written as þe and þor. When using a printing press most typesetters did not have a thorn, so a y was used as a replacement, causing things like ye oldde, rather than the oldde (þe oldde).

So does my wifes Epson, works great after 8 years (and 5 in storage!!!). However, if something broke, it would be impossible to fix it. I know I’ll be getting her this printer once the Epson breaks down.
