The only thing i want is DIY paper printer with open source driver + DIY ink cartridges.
It's kinda weird to me because i can find DIY 3d printer + it's driver (open source) online, but no company made DIY paper printer with DIY cartridges until now
Fuck HP, Epson, Canon, or whatever big company printers out there
Well what's different with 3d printer ?
I think 3d printer it's very complicated compared to paper printer because 3d printer can print objects in 3d (need to calibrated in x,y,z position just to make it right) but paper printer just 2d
I think the right answer because no one want to make it because the business model of selling paper printer itself already at profit loss, printer company made profits from selling ink cartridges not from selling the printer itself
Pen plotters are also much slower than inkjet printers, can't effectively mix inks for composite colors, and are significantly lower resolution than any other 2D print technology. Pen plotters existed before ink or laser jet, they lost their market share for good reasons.

The problem is the most important parts of inkjet/laser printers are pretty difficult to make by hand.
You can DIY a plotter though. Probably could figure out a continuous supply of ink to the pen too?
