After a lifetime of rebuying “cheap” ($30 to $80) color inkjet printers every two years or so, after the print heads get clogged up beyond the printers ability to clean itself, having ink cartridges go bad, being bullied by printer companies to use their far more expensive inks rather than 3rd party more affordable choices, I made the move a year ago to buy a black and white laser printer.

There was a sale on at Amazon at the time, it wasn’t a printer company I was familiar with PANTUM, but the laser copier plus an additional 1600 page toner cartridge was $99. It’s not multifunction (i’ve got an old non printing inkjet in a closet I bring out for scanning if I need to), it’s only black and white. I only print i dunno, 10 pages a year, and it’s perfect. I’m interested to see how long it lasts, but it sits in a little furniture cube, I take it out, print, put it back. I think I found a life hack. Fuck Cyan forever.
