well in my house , i have like 4 printers that are used ;
- one designed for Photoprinting
- one black and white laser printer
- one Network printer
and the last one , some printer my dad brought back from the dead ; a Lexmark x4270 . that thing , i have no idea why we stopped using it . ever since we got that black and white laser printer, this thing hasn't gotten any use . realizing we needed a colour printer, that's when this Kodak printer came in . then we have another printer that's connected to our network . then this network printer does everything , but i am told not to use it since i will just end up wasting ink .
as i was saying ... so this Lexmark printer , my dad bought a color and black + white ink cartridge for this printer . it's those generic ones, the ones you can just refill by some independent store at the mall . he brings it home and wanted to test the ink . though he doesn't know what to print, he noticed me on the computer looking at some guides for games . i told him i wanted to buy it , but he said no cause they're a complete waste of money . instead he offered the usage of this printer and i just started printing one of the guides [Tales of Vesperia guide] . i also asked if it did double sided printing to save paper and he showed me how to do it .
after seeing it , i was just like , damn that's a pain ... but i will save WAAAY more money then buying the guide. if i bought the guide, i'd be spending at least $20 per book but since i print it , it'd be cheaper IMO [$1 for a binder, $5 for 300 pack of paper, $15 for ink ...?] . well even if it does cost more for a singlebook, this would be cheaper in the long run since i can see myself printing some more guides :3 .
i've printed, 40 pages double sided , so in total , i've printed 80 pages in a book . can probably finish the whole guide by midnight or tomorrow morning . if i had a laptop , this wouldn't be necessary but if anyone wanted to borrow these, i'd be willing to let them borrow it . non-profit ftw !
