I haven’t had to print a color page in over a decade or more. What are you printing that requires color?
Receipts, warranties, tax docs, health docs, shipping labels, directions, manuals, schematics, electronic diagrams, and financial docs are things I print and I’ve never needed color. Most of the items I print aren’t even in color to begin with.
- ashwagary 4y agoI find things in my life that require color printing are few & far between and would be better printed at a high res print shop. The investment in color laser and cartridges would not be worth it in my case.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoSame. 99% of my printing is B&W stuff for business purposes; e.g. forms to print, sign, and mail, etc. Some light scanning in there, too. The few color things that I'd like to print -- pictures, posters, etc. -- might as well go to a print shop (I'm ~4 blocks from one) and get it printed on good paper, mounted, maybe even framed.
- eternityforest 4y agoLast thing I printed was a bunch of clues for a scavenger hunt, before that it was Christmas cards. I don't think I've ever printed a receipt, map(Aside from watching family print directions in the MapQuest era, but now we have phones), or warranty. The only documents I ever print are remnants of some legacy process that can't be done some other way. I think one time I was emailed a contract, printed, and signed it, but I don't remember why we thought that was the most convenient way to do things. I've probably scanned more diagrams and manuals than I've printed over the years. For a business owner I totally get it, for a consumer, screens have replaced most documents.
