    Inkjet printers as a whole are a bad investment.

        Well if you print lots of photos then maybe but that’s about it.

          If you print lots of photos in the USA, printing to the nearest drugstore (Walgreens, rite aid) is certainly cheaper.

          If you print a lot of documents in the USA, printing at the library is often free, sometimes a small fee.

          Not sure on other countries, but here in the USA, I’ve found a printer completely unnecessary.

            I kinda agree about the photos, but when printing documents, it’s almost always something I need immediately. Going to the library is quite inconvenient.

            I bought a used brother laser printer for 15€ and got two 1000 page toner Cartridges for it for 20€. That’s quite a lot of printing for 35€ total and that will be enough for years with my needs. Definitely worth the convenience imo.

              I agree. I have a brother laser printer. However, I’m currently traveling and have it packed away in a trailer. I’ve found the library more convenient than unpacking it. For now. Haha
