    I want to buy an inkjet printer, there's a shortage it seems... lots of them are back order. Probably cuz Covid, i guess.

    • It almost like everyone needed one for work or something... :)ETM
    • Yeah.. I want one to make prints of my pictures. I'll have to wait I guess. I checked everywhere possible, all models are back order everywhere.Bennn
    • Combination of everyone working from home, few owning printers for a while and supply chain slowdownnb
    • There are so many products that are hard to buy!nb
    • What about laser printers?ben_
    • inkjet better for photo.pango
    • those inks costs like a bitch tho.pango
    • I recently bought a cheapo laser for day to day prints - I'm never buying an inkjet again. If I want photos printed, I'll take them to a shop.Nairn
    • ^ same. 100%Gnash
    • Dont get an Epson 15000. I fucking hate mine.instrmntl
    • Same Nairn. I got a $80 Brother black laser. Wouldn’t go ink again.monospaced
    • :D Sounds like it's probably the exact same one I got, mono!Nairn
    • Even if I still did design for print and needed to iterate quick and print tests I'd probably just stump up for a colour laser.Nairn
    • I've had two half-decent colour inkjets over my years and both of them ended up driving me insane at some dark late hour. Not worth the bother, or expense.Nairn
    • color laser is awful and pointless unless you get the high end, and nobody has that kind of moneymonospaced
    • Our office has $10k color laser printers, and they're awful. Like you said, just go get it printed somewhere if it's that important.monospaced
    • For quick comps though? I always needed to print and cut stuff out so I could see it in hand. I can't work just on-screen. Still do, in my own lasering way.Nairn
    • *still can't, I meanNairn
    • Love printing at homenb
    • I love printing at home too. B&W is fine.monospaced
    • I have a colour laser printer, HP. Less that Around $300 when I got on sale. It’s great to have a bit of colourGnash
    • Obviously not for proofing colour, but good for decksGnash
    • third party ink is much cheaper, like 5 time cheaper. I dont know if they're any good for inkjet color printing, but i buy them for my b&w Brother laser and itBennn
    • works perfectly.Bennn
    • also laptops and monitor are hard to get these days cause of home office rushapi
