The thing is, we definitely could have 100% reliable printers with good reparabilty, but capitalism gotta capitalism

Just get a color laser printer, learn how to refill toner carts and buy or flash the chips. Even a monkey can do that! /s

Scraping those fucking chips off the cartridges like a crackhead scraping resin is a nightmare.
