So we all know printers are evil. But which type of printer (inkjet, laser, plotter, etc.) would you say is the most versatile, and therefore best? And do you have any specific recommendations? Thanks.

Specific recommendations: some cheap laser printer, see that Verge article, they're all roughly fine.

If you don't do photos, you want laser, or nowadays LED. They're much, much less evil than inkjet, and they can even do colour pretty well if all you need are colour documents and the basics. Toner is a solid powder that gets fused into ink by heat, so it can't really dry out like inkjet, and it's very resilient.

Laser printers (more generally "xerographic printers") are actually pretty reliable because they're relatively mechanically simple, and toner lasts years, so all the usual gripes about printers becoming useless when not used for more than a week don't apply.

Inkjet is really where the bad reputation of printers comes from. Liquid ink is a nightmare to work with in a machine, it's sticky, it dries out, it clogs, it needs complicated jet systems to spray it, and it's a pain to handle. The reason you deal with this is because inket is basically the only way to produce bright, colourful, detailed photo prints, but nowadays you don't have to print every photo you take, just ones you want, so you can go through a commercial printer, your local photo shop probably has a suite of nice inkjets available at reasonable rates.

HALIBURTON VAULT EXPERIMENT 5

I miss writing but I have an issue with knowing when to stop (I have this problem in all areas of life) so doing these poems with an extremely limited reign of space is interesting bc the confines are not just a word limit but a visual composition challenge as well

Interesting things I read this week.

Collage by Al Hirschfeld of images of Pavarotti with Pavarotti autograph. A collage of caricatures by Al Hirschfeld, copied xerographed onto a 10" x 14" sheet of plain bond paper, topped off with a bold signature from the big man himself, "Luciano 83" at the bottom. A curio from here.

Projectionist

The princess is under a spell;

Give all well

Cell after cell after cell.

Singing birds, a ringing bell …

In-between

Deep

We fell.

Motion

Stolen

Drawn

Inked

Rotoscoped

Perfection synced

Night and day

Back to back

The Technicolored folkloric trap

Xerographed enacted parts

To sing, and dance

With swollen heart

While flickering

In the fervid gloom

A small, ill kept

Sweltering room

Spool to spool,

Repeat, re- watch

For scraped emulsion

Bright cue dots

1000ft to intermission

To fall again

As reel

Transitions

The usherette’s tray

Our ticking clock

As iced creams melt and popcorn pops

Lemonade

Sherbet

Chocolate drops

Reel real love

In fits and stops

TODAY IN HISTORY: September 16, 1959 - The first successful photocopier, the Xerox 914, was introduced in a demonstration on live television from New York City. It revolutionized the document-copying industry. The culmination of inventor Chester Carlson's work on the xerographic process, the 914 was fast and economical. Xerography, a process of producing images using electricity, was invented in 1938 by physicist-lawyer Chester Floyd "Chet" Carlson, and an engineering partner, Otto Kornei. He sold his rights in 1947 to the Haloid Company, a wet-chemical photopaper manufacturer, founded in 1906 in Rochester, New York.

challenging myself to be more vulnerable in my art is horrifying and disgusting but if I never do it I won't ever create art that makes me feel like I've made anything worthwhile.
