Ink jet printers really are the embodiment of peak capitalism.

I can't wait until a company like Apple creates their own printers and somehow makes it worse.

Uh.. they did make printers, starting in the 80s some were pretty decent: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_printers

I didn't know this. But Apple is a different company than they were in the 80's and i feel that it would still be bad today.

Edit: or the 90's when they made their last models according to that article.
