A bunch of rollers that need to be cleaned fastidiously if you want them to keep working.


That’s just what happens when you have stuff dissolved in solvents.


That’s direct thermal, not laser. Problem is direct thermal prints don’t last very long and the paper is expensive. Thermal transfer uses expensive ribbons, and laser is super complex.


I built a webapp for work, and when a new PR firm / subcontractor entered the picture, they complained that it didn’t work. I spent hours pulling my hair out until I figured out that they were using a seven year old version of Safari. Apparently, their laptops stopped receiving system updates from apple, and you can’t upgrade safari alone. As someone who has never used an Apple computer, this blew my mind.
Maybe? Sounds like a tricky thing to automate and then you also have solvent as an additional consumable. This is a problem even with huge industrial inkjets.
