    Somebody tell me again why we, as a society, still print things? Other than publishing, why do we need printers?

      cmon now. no victim blaming.

      what if i just want to print a coloring book for my kid? there are perfectly valid reason to want to print things, and it should not be as difficult/stupid as it is today.

      My ailing grandfather has no phome nor computer, I send him letters every month with full colour pictures of myself and family.

      That said I use my local print shop because I’d rather pay $0.50 per page than have my $25 inkjet printer cartridge deplete after 10 pages.
