Not so fun fact, printer ink is dirt cheap to produce but they sell it at insane prices cause capitalism. Get laser or one of those refillable ones instead.
Printer ink solution?

Get laser, period. Any inkjet printer is a hassle for regular families - who sometimes need to print a shipping label, a document or homework. The ink will dry and will lead to issues with your printer. The powder for lasers is just there - it doesn’t clump, it doesn’t dry out and it always works, even when you print every second month or even longer. Also the powder lasts forever so you probably never have to change it unless you run a company or something.

And your local public library almost certainly has cheap or even free color printing.

After buying my fourth or fifth inkjet printer (the last one being a refillable one that became obsolete) … I switched to a moderately priced laserjet printer about five years ago
I just bought my second cartridge refill this year for $30 and its still going strong
Fuck inkjet printers and the companies that produce them

It’s funny because even the salesmen have said “Oh you have to print occasionally just to make sure it doesn’t dry and clog up” and yet our cheap-ass inkjets from well-hated companies have never given any such issues, even when they’ve been unused for years at a time. Over the span of 2 decades there’s been 2 of them. Canon and then later HP.
Would I buy another one? Probably not. Would rather get a Brother laser these days if there’s ever need for a printer again. But I’m hoping that there won’t be.

First, why is the sun wearing sunglasses? Is looking at things that are not a stellar body bright for the sun?
Second, what is happening with the sun’s eyes? Is the sun drunk? Did it join a fight club?

Dude, they’re literally called “sun glasses”, they’re made for him!

He’s high as balls
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Stellar bodies would be more accurately called spheroids. And there is no direction in space. So the best we could say is that he’s nondirectional as spheroids.
But he’s tripping balls.

It’s looking at you and your stellar body

Yes. The logo is at the top. They always put their logo on their fake products.

Stop buying ink based printers and buy a cheap laser.

To be real for a second, ecotanks are great.
Fuck cartridges, get a product that doesn’t lock you down to using a fucking DRM chip to say your ink is legit.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 months ago
I recognize that Canon ink cartridge…
Yes, that will print, lol. It will smell weird, and not be very crisp, but it will put something on the paper.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
If you printed it on edible paper … it would be delicious too
Ashiette@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That might not be true. For the ink to properly dispersed by inkjet, it must be electrically charged. I don’t know if soy sauce can hold its charges.

Sell this in asian speaking regions, and I bet you make bank…for about a month.

What if I don’t know anyone who speaks asian?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I can speak Asian. Watch:
“The following peoples can be considered amongst those described as Asian: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Lao, Vietnamese, Korean, Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, Pakistani, Mongolian, Nepali, Saudi, Iranian, Iraqi, Palestinian…”

Does it come with a printer that doesn’t break just by looking the wrong way at it? Will it not immediately dry up?
dumbass@leminal.space 6 months ago
Does it work?
Fish@midwest.social 6 months ago
No, this won’t work. Soy sauce is too thin, so what you need is soy concentrate. If you can’t find it online then just Venmo me $20 and I can send you some.

Ahh you’re not gonna get me this time Soy Sauce Salsmen! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, can’t fool me again!

the ink itself is really cheap

It would literally be cheaper to fill them with human blood.
