Let's not throw the baby with the bathwater. Injket printers have advantages and can be cheap if we dismantle the highway robbery of inks. Just because inks are expensive does not mean that we should get rid of inkjet technology.

Perhaps you should investigate why they exist. Seems too naive to wish for their disappearance due to lack of knowledge.

I've been using these for years for Photo printing. Can vouch for excellent quality and affordable price. You need a color calibrator to calibrate these inks + paper.
- thekid314 5y agoI'll have to look into them. I've been using https://www.octoink.co.uk https://www.octoink.co.uk for my photo printing and they have been great. The sad thing is that there aren't any good review sites.
- systemvoltage 5y agoI've been using PrecisionInks for 10+ years. It is an old school family business and never once disappointed me. I use this spectrophotometer for calibration: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369004-REG/x_rite_eostudio_i1studio.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369004-REG/x_rite_eo...
- captn3m0 5y agoThe highway robbery is what keeps them cheap? Honest Question: Would inkjets remain cheap if they all accepted $STANDARD bottles available everywhere and compatible with all printers.
- systemvoltage 5y agoWe solved the similar problem for exchangeable storage media in the form of SD-Cards. Before SD Cards, the whole thing was fragmented like the printer industry. CF cards, minidisks, and proprietary memory sticks. It can be done.
