When do the patents expire? Seems like 2D printers are relatively old technology by this point.
fax machines are the predecessor to 2d printers i guess
For example, a very important patent for any inkjet is the one where heads self clean, basically maintenance. Without that, an inkjet printer would be a pain to have.
