HP executive boasts that its controversial ink subscription model is “locking” in customers::undefined
i switched from a subscription HP inkjet to a nice brother color laser. the photos are i guess a bit worse quality, as they say, but it’s so worth the tradeoff. it’s built like a tank, is less bad at randomly not connecting to the computer, and i can just print what i want and it does it. i’m not sitting in the print menu thinking ‘hmm if i print this as color, that’s only 4 color pages left on the month, then they’ll charge me $1 for the next allotment’
and it’s just so fucking tiresome, and you just get bogged down in this pure banality and it’s so insane. like, the printer and ink are sitting right there in my house! why am i thinking like this??
If your photos are worse on a laser printer than an ink jet, you’ve got something set up incorrectly. Hope I don’t sound off putting, but laser is far superior to ink jet. Hell, pretty anything is superior to ink jet.
That’s a bit of different question. For photos, yes, but most people look to pigment for labels or other because of the UV durability. I suggest going to the gold standard of this: Wilhelm Research

For printing photos? Is a laser really a viable option to a pigment printer?
