I’d recommend the Epson EcoTank series. They don’t use cartridges, the ink comes in bottles and are quite cheap and lasts a while. They are inkjet tho, unless you’re doing lots if colour printing, theyre ok. Not sure if theres 3rd party inks.

Hm, I feel Brother was the last brand which didn’t do that, are there any alternatives?

My wife has bought 3 of them for her sublimation projects, they’ve all been great. The only issue I’ve had is the god damn windows 11 PC she runs that kills the tcpip port I set up, which deletes her color profiles.

How does killing a tcp port delete color profiles?
Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because printers are manufactured in Hell so of course deleting a TCP port deletes color profiles because why not?

They don’t. This article is a 4 year old hoax.

Get a laser printer. The initial cost is a bit higher, but toner is much cheaper than ink in the long run, and it doesn’t run dry

Oh, that article is also from 2019

I bought a new Brother laser printer in 2021 and it has no problem with third party toners.

I actually had a little bit of a panic attack because I just bought a shit tonne of toner for my Brother and I was afraid I might get locked out of it, but I just bought this printer last year and it’s not giving me any hassle with third party toner.

I would still turn off auto updates.

Yeah I linked it because it was the best one I could find that was not Reddit.

wtf. well. I guess I’ll have to block this user just in case it’s a spam bot.

I don’t think there’s any point on spamming articles just for points since there’s no algorithm that would weight their future posts higher. Please just assume the poster had good intentions and found it interesting and wanted to share.
MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Thanks for sharing an optimistic opinion. That said I still believe there’s a market for accounts that seem real for astroturfing purposes

changed it to a link at the bottom of the post because people were confused, I linked to the last time brother was caught doing it by “press” but all the most recent examples are on Reddit, and I wont drive clicks to Reddit.
