No I think it’s actually the majority of printer users who go months without printing. The reason inkjets still exist is because these folks keep buying new ones when their old one clogs up (or the ink dries up completely) in between prints. They don’t buy lasers because inkjets hit the very lowest price point.
If everyone who did that just bought a brother B&W laser just once instead of re-upping their inkjet I bet anything the consumer market for cheap inkjet printers would disappear forever. Inkjets would only survive as a high end commercial colour technology.
- ghaff 3y agoI suspect that there are a lot of people with kids in school and various other use cases where color printing isn't really optional. (Though color laser isn't all that unreasonable these days.)
