Normally, design posts are Grant’s bailiwick, but when I came across this post regarding a concept printer that uses a normal pencil and eraser instead of print cartridges, I had to say something.
That something is this: I hate printer cartridges. Not only am I sure that they are a massive environmental issue (just think of all that plastic entering landfills), I can never find the right cartridge I need when I run out of toner. Sure, I could order extras ahead of time, but that’s not who I am. I want to pick up things I need when I need them. Not early. And certainly not later.
Imagine, then, a printer that you can simply slide a pencil into. Buying a pack of 24 ‘refills’ would be less of an issue. The environmental impact would be minimized.
I like it. Someone make it. I’ll buy it.
