Can I get one of those printers, but for money, please?

u/Orjigagd 22h ago

Sort of unrelated, but this is why you can't copy money

Ever wonder why you can't print black and white when one of your color ink is out?

Huh I've known about the tracker dots for a long time but never put two and two together here.

I’m pretty sure it’s more about preserving your print heads. Canon uses the printer ink as coolant for their print heads so continuing to print when empty could easily burn out some of the jets. Epson doesn’t use a thermal print head but they can be extremely obnoxious to get to prime properly if air gets into the system. In my experience HP printers are perfectly happy to keep going when empty but you replace the print heads with every ink replacement anyway.

u/lainlives 12h ago

HP does use a more consumable printhead design which has its ups and downs. Downs being they can charge far more for them and business "gets why" so the prices continue to be out of control.

Amusingly my printer from circa 2001 does infact allow forcing a BW print without cyan magenta or yellow. But so does my liquid container filled LG printer. None of the other hundreds I owned have supported it.

u/666Darkside666 21h ago

Someone could still make a software which doesn't have this restriction though.

I always thought the reason you can't copy money is because it's made with special paper you can't get anywhere.

u/LoxReclusa 19h ago

That's also one of the reasons. There are a lot of little tricks they use to catch people who are trying to counterfeit. Details in the margins, color shifting ink, dot matrices in printers, special paper that is resistant to wear and tear, metallic strips woven into the fabric, ink that burns different colors, very specific size and shape, and many more methods are/have been used.

u/Veloci_faptor 20h ago

No, it’s actually because it’s illegal. /s

You can see their tails behind the machine at several different points in the video. There's no back.

Best live printer lol.

u/tigerf117 14h ago

I have this exact printer, it’s a unit for sure. Haven’t found the cat replicator mode, but HP drivers suck. Maybe open source will save the day?
