@hyc @secretasianman @graydon @arclight @ifixcoinops we had one at dayjob, I wish I could get it when they changed it. Do we still find consumables for these?

@f4grx @hyc @secretasianman @arclight @ifixcoinops Far as I know, yes. Pricey, but still produced. I'm not even sure they've stopped making the printers for business customers.

@graydon @f4grx @hyc @secretasianman @arclight @ifixcoinops As far as I can tell, that print technology is no longer made. Ours crapped out about the time Xerox gave up on it, and we no longer needed any of it's advantages, so we went Brother color laser.

@mhkohne @f4grx @hyc @secretasianman @arclight @ifixcoinops Well, boo. That one always struck me as generally superior to the lasers.

@graydon @f4grx @hyc @secretasianman @arclight @ifixcoinops Depends, I think. The only thing I believe they were actually better at was color matching, and not being able to spew toner everywhere if you screw up. Otherwise, the Brother laser we have now is all around easier to work with (modulo the continuous enshitification of the Windows print architecture)

@graydon @mhkohne @f4grx @hyc @arclight @ifixcoinops yeah. They still produce the ink but who knows for how long

@hyc @secretasianman @graydon @arclight @ifixcoinops I quite like the print quality from the crayola printers, used to have one in my office.

@secretasianman @arclight @ifixcoinops Versalink C500 and C600. Not enough up on the historical machinations to know if they're ex-tektronix.
