Inkjets are actually really fascinating technology. If you squint a little it's like a CRT monitor that sprays ink instead of electrons. But for the average consumer they're just not worth it except in niche situations. I have a black and white ~~inkjet~~laser printer. I printed a page for the first time in 7 months yesterday. It printed perfectly the first time. No print heads to clean, no dried ink, nothing. It just works. Hard to compete with that.
So, if I take an old CRT, fill the tube with ink and squint outward, will I get an inkjet printer?
was it plugged in and doing head maintenance all those 7 months?
Sorry I meant laser
