I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    If I need photos printed, I’ll go to a shop. It doesn’t happen that often and, frankly, inkjets suck so badly that I honestly doubt I’d save time or money owning one. All the headaches I’ve dealt with just trying to print basic stuff like shipping labels and documents disappeared the moment I bought a Brother laser printer.

      Totally agree. I’m not going to buy special paper and fuck with settings when I can just pay a little extra for a professional to do it.

      For the average person, this is the answer.

      Buying a high end large format inkjet is the answer for artists, photographers, and graphic designers who regularly need hard copies of their work. The average user who prints a couple times a year would be much better served with a b/w laserjet and the occasional trip to a print shop when something fancier is needed.
