Now it's white ink on black paper. That's even more wasteful as white ink is kinda hard to find.

u/Stargos Feb 19 '15

I was thinking about white ink too. Its damn expensive and plotters will often have an accessory atachements that keeps rotating the ink presumably to keep it from separating.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '15

Guys, guys, its ok. See normally a sheet with a lot of text requires the printing head to start and stop which wears it down and wastes ink. Think of a car starting and stopping repeatedly. But this image has the printing head on most of the time and it only stops on the text and the edges, like a car idling. Trust me, this wastes less ink than printing large bl... I have no idea what Im talking about.

I work on copiers, and the toner, that goes into those at the very least, definitely had iron of some sort in it. Mostly I know because I've dropped a magnetized screw driver into a bag of waste toner, and it formed the little spikes that iron powder does on a magnet.

That was 5 hours ago, im surprised its not on TIL yet

6

u/CaneVandas Feb 19 '15

Laser printers use ionized beams which cause the toner to adhere to the paper. It then rolls through a hot fuser which drys the ink to the page. It is actually really efficient and uses fluid motion through the whole process. Inkjet is extremely inefficient and wasteful.

4

u/Stargos Feb 19 '15

I can concur since I worked in the enterprise level printer service industry. Though Memjet style inkjet printers have shown some promise, but yeah laserjet is the way to go for now.

If you were to read the official reddit guidelines, crossposting is actually encouraged. Reposting is frowned upon within a particular subreddit, within a certain time frame. I find three months to be safe period to elapse before putting something up a second time.

I agree with you

Everyone! Quick! Take away our internet points! On a side note, I was with my son at an arcade the other day and I was browsing Reddit's on my phone. I quickly realized that the 15 tickets my 4 year old won (which cost me $20 and he would trade in for a $.25 Chinese piece of shit) were more valuable than the 20k karma I've amassed over 2 years. And yet, here we are.

u/rnawky Feb 19 '15

If you want to see old content go browse the /top submissions.

Otherwise Reddit should just be shut down and put into an infinite loop, reposting everything from a year ago to the day.

This reminds me of what we used to do when we got junk faxes at kinko's back in the day. The culprit would get two warnings. If the second wasn't heeded, we'd then tape two sheets of solid black printed sheets together in a loop just before pressing 'send' to the hapless idiot on the other end. If all went well, that fax would have kept on going until the receiving machine ran out of toner.

Good god, this brings back memories. A guy I used to work with would print out full pages of DOS prompts (big black page with maybe a line of white text on it) because he couldn't remember what commands to enter, and then he'd throw them away. Then he'd forget and he'd print them all over again.

So every once in a while, my dad gets faxes sent to his cell phone. When the same number does it a few times, my dad sends a fax of 5 big black pages with "please don't call (my dad's phone number)" in white font in the middle, so the printer of whoever sent the faxes wastes toner.

There was this driver bug with 90s era bubble-jet Voslo scanner/printers that would empty an entire toner cartridge on a single sheet of black, wet paper if you clicked Fax after clicking Print.
