I wonder what happens then. Do printers become unaffordable, or will some random Chinese company make a $30 printer?
A lot of arts and crafts and decorations become real hard without a printer,and monochrome laser is basically useless for home use cases(Unless you actually like paper for documents)
Maybe it's just my own little bubble but everything around me seems to be going digital. I used to print invoices / received printed invoices, communicated with the government with printed forms. These days I receive/send invoices via email, and communicate with the government via their web apps. I haven't printed anything in quite a while. And if I wanted to print a photo to put on a wall, I would probably go to a professional shop anyway to get the best quality.
Not obvious. A simple "mostly" would have fixed the statement.
Speaking as someone who still occasionally needs a print-out and will not ever see that need go away unless some kind of amazing e-ink technology becomes the norm.
Agreed. When there is paper thin and paper light e-ink tech that cost about as much as paper then I will consider going all digital. I tried going all digital with my business forms process with iPads. It didn't work out.
These days they have fewer enterprise costumers so they need to be more careful on how they introduce it.
