  • Yeah inkjet printers will probably never be opensource, due to the fact that the tiny nozzles are impossible to produce without owning a semiconductor fab that can build stuff in the mems realm.

    Laser printers could be the way to go, they sound more complicated, but all the components needed for them are getting cheaper. A laser is focusable to a tiny spot, meaning one can use non mems elements. Basically take a laser engraver (the type with the fixed laser head and those 2 spinning mirrors), point it at a high voltage drum, lase the pattern (removes the charge from parts of the drum), add the toner power and then roll over paper. For color just replicate that x3.

    I think a Opensource Black/White laser printer should be possible at a price point of maybe 600$ in components (3d printers also started out at that price point then got cheaper). I doubt it would be as quick as commercial models but it should be doable.
