My personal take is: Why bother?! It is a dying marked. Most private people don't need a printer. Just go to a convenient store, for that one print every other year. And for the high volume business side there are still good enough commercial options.
- p1mrx 3y agoA monochrome laser printer is useful for USPS shipping, because they pick up at the mailbox. I also print icons for confusing switches around the house (light / fan / garbage disposal) and attach them with clear tape. I recently made a "This Hyundai vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition" window label to deter TikTok thieves. Inkjets are junk, because the ink dries up within a year. I'm still on my original laser toner from 2007.
- namibj 3y agoYou don't need triple digit dpi technology or a stacked paper feeder for shipping labels. And I don't see why a dot matrix printer would be that hard to make. The hardest part would be the ink ribbon, and compared to e.g. an inkjet head that's low tech (plastic foil ribbon coated with essentially laser toner).
