Are there any well designed printers?

I like your work @neilsondesign. SWYP and that Lexmark retractable printer are really nice!


Looking at the following areas/pain points

Primary

  1. Proprietary cartridges
  2. The experience of the user wishing to print something from a device (connectivity, interface opportunities etc)

Secondary
3) Jams
4) Speed
5) Noise & Vibration
6) Print Quality
7) Build Quality, Materials
:sunglasses: Nozzle cleaning, servicing
9) Sustainability
10) Aesthetics


Havn’t looked at anything in too much detail yet. With regard to the two primary pain points, I think

  • it would be interesting to see what happened if someone started working on an open source standard for ink cartridges.
  • use of bluetooth instead of wifi might be a lot more straightforward for home printers?
