I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Honestly just having a laser/led printer removes so many of the problems with printers. All inkjets should be replaced.

      Idk about LED printers but ink jet is better than laser for printing photos. For general use I think laser should be the standard over ink jet, definitely.

        If I need photos printed, I’ll go to a shop. It doesn’t happen that often and, frankly, inkjets suck so badly that I honestly doubt I’d save time or money owning one. All the headaches I’ve dealt with just trying to print basic stuff like shipping labels and documents disappeared the moment I bought a Brother laser printer.

          Totally agree. I’m not going to buy special paper and fuck with settings when I can just pay a little extra for a professional to do it.

          For the average person, this is the answer.

          Buying a high end large format inkjet is the answer for artists, photographers, and graphic designers who regularly need hard copies of their work. The average user who prints a couple times a year would be much better served with a b/w laserjet and the occasional trip to a print shop when something fancier is needed.
