minus-squarebleistift2@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoThe last printer I got cost 40€. Print shops charge 10ct per copy. That’s 400 prints just to amortize the cheapest garbage printer you could buy 10 years ago. And the ink doesn’t last 400 prints. Owning a printer just doesn’t make sense.
