the print head is actually the part I’d like to escape, they are expensive to manufacture, get clogged, and burn out after 3 years of use – sooner than that for the throw away ones in the consumer market. print heads also necessitates an ink flushing system capable of suction. printer that use powder toner can sit for years with only toner degradation but does not ruin the printer itself, unlike leaking ink, or dried ink to the print head. beyond the print heads fragility, the head would need tight micro second electric pulseses set to fire at particular moments in conjuction with the movement of the XY axis. not saying your wrong but i’m just looking at this at a different angle. i want a printer that is hack-able, serviceable and easy to understand.























paper handling requires sensors, and logic. i wont even touch that lol, just laying out a do-able road map to truly open source printing
