Open source printer with refillable ink, no bullshit, accept rolls of papers.

Finally an open source printer ! I dealt with so much stupidity with printers. it warm my heart.

I do have too much joy to practice mandatory critical thinking about the release of a new project. Lets talk about it? i am not the only one to be happy about it, i have no info about the price though :/

    It’s not new. It’s old.

    I guess none of you are old enough to remember fax machines. There’s a reason we got rid of roll paper, it fucking sucks

      I’m not saying it is new technology I am saying new to you, who now says you have used it before.

      What is actually bad about this? From my experience the curl is at worst a barely noticeable affect on the paper and is less of an issue if you go through paper quick, for the people that don’t care you can use flat sheets for this printer as well.

          Sounds like it depends on the person then I’ve not had it be that bad in my experience, its not like that’s the only option anyways.

        Have you ever used roll paper? In what use cases did you find it equivalent or superior to flat? Any problems with curling paper, see any paper waste from the core as it runs low?

        Have you ever wrapped presents with rolled paper? Notice any issues with it? Think it would work well for a pile of documents?

        Sounds like you’re the one arguing from ignorance here

          Yes, I never found it superior except in the case of space saving protective conveinance, just not an issue in my experience, plus it sounds like the printer offers sheets as an option anyways. I’ve seen curled paper with and without coming from rolls, obviously from rolls more but its never been an issue to me. As for core waste, hopefully we are recycling our paper stack coverings and rolls.

          In my experience the curling has not been an issue with wrapping paper, I just wrap it in a way where its not an inconvenience, smaller sheet would be even easier to keep flat when its sitting on something flat and with stapled together in a corner anyways.

          No
