People are still printing? I love it, proppa old skool that is. I thought the only person who printed stuff anymore was my mum who prints out her daily crossword.
Don't forget to boycott HP because, not only are they shit printers, they provide computer hardware for the IDF, Israel's police, and their Immigration and Population Authority. https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp
This article's compatible with that. The tldr is as usual brother laser, any model.
Yes, we do print. Many industries still need printed material.
That being said, call me old school all you want, but I prefer the feel of newspaper over any screen. Data, especially online data, is so easily lost. Print remains.
There are still a need for document printing at home. Granted it's just smaller in scale these days. Mine is mostly used for the kids. Like printing out things to color on, or something educational. On rare occasions I'll need to print some kinda form, for work or some kinda government form, even event tickets.
That said, I really don't know anyone that's looking to photo print at home anymore. It's just cheaper to have it done somewhere like Walgreens or Walmart.
