After switching to laser, I truly don't understand how inkjets still sell. Is it purely for photo printing at home? Because outside of that specific use case, laser is far superior on every axis.

A toner cartridge lasts for years and years, even with limited use, and it nets you thousands of pages. Laser printers aren't even that expensive anymore, and I'd argue they're cheaper than inkjet after having to refill the latter just a single time.

Edit: and something I didn't know until I got one: toner doesn't run if pages get wet. There have been a few times where that has been handy.

My wife has a cricut. It’s a little CNC plotter table that can make custom stickers, signs, and whatnot with a very clean UI. They are pretty popular with the stay-at-home mom crowd. If you know a better way to high quality color prints on specialty papers I’d love to hear it. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I mean that with absolutely zero sarcasm. Please tell me.
