  So many people on here always talking about printing stuff in 2024. Is everyone a lawyer?

    I can’t post my memes on the much room bulletin board for everyone to see unless I print them :/

    Some banks and other places like that still require physical documents for stuff like proof of address, affidavits etc.

    Even though they’re going to fucking scan it into pdf anyway

    I use my printer to print silly stickers, because I am a manchild, but I don’t think I am using the correct ink or paper, because they fade very quickly and smudge sometimes.

    Also use it to print graph paper to doodle on.

      What type of printer/paper do you use? I find cheap photo paper works well for high res on my inkjet, although it can fade if you leave it in the sun. I’ve been using vinyl sticker sheets for customising my bike and it seems to be holding well, but I did laminate them with sticky back plastic first.

      There’s also the sellotape trick, but that only works for laser printers and you obviously can’t print white.

        The printer is the cheapest canon inkjet printer I could find new in 2021. I don’t have access to the exact model name rn

        I think I have glossy photo paper. I also had a few sheets of postcard size sticker paper that was not glossy and didn’t fade, but I recall it being stupid expensive, or that specific brand at least. I cannot remember the name. Would not survive the elements though.

        I thought about laminating it but I wasn’t sure if the heat would fuck the adhesive

    I transfer data by printing it and then scanning it when I get to the location.

    I just like the artefacts it leaves behind.

    If it is anything other than text or a photo, I compile the file into a QR code and print that.

    A Windows 10 installation iso is about 1499639 QR codes

      Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.

      You mean I can backup my 20tb NAS on QR codes?

    When I cook I like to print out the recipe. It’s annoying to have to touch ur phone when cooking because you might be handling raw meat so it’s annoying to have to wash ur re-hands whenever you need to check the recipe. Plus using a phone when hands are wet is also annoying.
