    Yes they did exactly that actually

    Iirc from a YouTube video I watch long ago they trade mark all the ink printer technology and abused it for years until we made laser printers

      I bought a laser printer for my job in 1990. They’ve been around

        Yeah but they cost like thousands of dollars back then. Upwards of five figures for professional grade printers I believe. They were out of reach for most consumers.
