I got into a fight this week with someone who was bitching about the cost of a color printer.
I'm like, first if all, if ink is so expensive, why don't you see if it's cheaper just to print out the things you need at a print store? Well, she can't just send confidential documents (lol) to the store, and she doesn't have a computer so she can't put it on a USB and USBs are complicated anyway, and what if she needs something printed at the last minute?
So then I try, well why don't you get a laser printer in b&w? Those are a bit of an investment up front but at least the ink doesn't dry out and you don't need a color printer. Well, then she starts talking about how she needs a color printer because she needs to print photos of herself sometimes and recently she had to take a picture of some wires because there's work being done on her building and it's SO much CLEARER to say, the red wire rather than the top wire.
So I'm just like ok, keep your color inkjet printer and continue to pay through the nose for your ink, I don't really give a shit but stop complaining about the price of ink. If you're really printing that many copies of differently colored wires at 3am, you clearly have bigger issues.
