    While I’d personally love to see an open color lazer printer more. (Less wasteful and more rugged) This is still fantastic! It’s always been a saying of mine that modern printers are the torture devices of our time. This could go a long long way to right a lot of these wrongs. I will definitely have to check this out.

      I use a black-and-white laser printer, but if I were going to use a color laser printer, I’d like to have an open color laser printer simply because I’d like to have a printer that isn’t dumping printer tracking dots into each image I print.

        Yes, I have a black and white brother lazer printer. That thing is a workhorse. Still gives problems every so often, but far more reliable than any inkjet printer I’ve ever had. And far less costly to maintain.

      The issue with color laser printers is they generally need a print head for each color iirc.

      There are LED laser printers that don’t require this though

        Oh I know. No shade on them for starting with inkjet. Long term though the lazer/LED printers are just the more economical and sustainable option. This is a welcome disruption regardless.
