Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

After I bought a bunch of inkjet printers and figured out ink tank modifications ..... I finally just bought a good Canon Inkjet Printer.
After ten years of messing around with these dumb printers for about ten years my inkjet printer has been working fine for the past ten years and I've only ever changed the toner once and never had any problems.
Everyone keeps raving about ink tank but I feel I need to specify, don't buy this style if you don't print at least once every few weeks, the lines will clog and it's a royal pain in the ass trying to remove a clog on these styles!
They look amazing if you do a lot of artists stuff and you use it frequently but if you're the college student or someone that may have to print out a report every other month or something like that, you are far better off going with a laser Printer. Less headache for similar pricing
note: this isn't a diss on the person I'm replying to, I acknowledge that tank printers are amazing at what they're good at, I've just had so many people bring me their ink tanks because they're clogged because they only use them maybe once every other month stating that the reason they went with the printer in the first place because it was supposed to not have the penalties that standard inkjets had, so I feel the need to clarify
No offence taken ... the last time I used those dumb tanks, or off brand cheap inkjet replacements (I still have a stack of them in my basement in sealed packages) was over ten years ago. I don't remember how or what I did back then ... all I remember is that it was all a constant pain because every time I found a solution, the companies figured out ways to break any set up and then people would start with something new again.
And all I ever wanted to do was print black and white documents anyway. It was always a pain in the ass to try to print a black and white page and my printer would complain that it needed CYAN! ... the comic and jokes about that is real ... you couldn't print unless all the colours were there.
I got so mad about it all I went and bought a $300 laser printer and have never had problems since. Once this printer goes, I won't mind spending $500 on another laser printer because I will never invest in an inkjet printer for my home office.
For real, an HP nowadays is even worse at that. They have a setting now called true black that instead of just using the Black Ink that comes with a printer it uses the black ink and a little bit of every color to make it so it's a darker shade. The result is a darker tone however it blows through your ink even faster because it's also using your color at the same time.
If I have no more choices ... I'd switch to a mechanical Gutenberg press before I go back to inkjet ever again.

You said "ten years" so many times in one sentence that I'm honestly unclear on how much time passed.
It was a time loop ... it could have been ten years, maybe more, maybe a hundred years .... I don't know
