I fear the day my old Brother HL-2040 dies. Will anyone still make a non-shitty printer?

I fear the day my old Brother HL-2040 dies. Will anyone still make a non-shitty printer?
- kayfox 3y agoProbably Brother.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoI hope Brother continues, but I hear Epson has some decent options higher up the price/quality scale that don't hate you.
- chewmieser 3y agoI’ve been pretty happy with Xerox laser printers. If I was going inkjet I would probably look into those Epson Ecotank ones, but knowing how infrequently I use my inkjet today the nozzles would probably dry out in-between prints!
- plussed_reader 3y agoCheck out led vs laser printing for your next b/w printer.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoOh man. I haven't seen LED in years. In 90s-00s, I set up every client I had with Okidata LED printers. Small footprint, quiet, light to med duty, inexpensive to buy and run. They lasted forever. I don't think I ever had one break.
- plussed_reader 3y agoLess moving parts/simpler transport path, LEDs are inexpensive to produce, every toner cartridge comes with the imaging unit integrated. The 4096 resolution of the microled imaging can be a bit blocky on smaller details compared to laser, but for 10-12pt spaced documents it works quite well.
- fmajid 3y agoI’m happy with my Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16600. I will never buy a cartridge-based printer ever again.
