    The big thing here is this printer is repairable, there no spyware or vendor lock in for specific ink cartridges.

    This is hardware that if you buy you truly own.

    Honestly for these reasons alone I am going to buy this.

      Fair, and I admire them for trying. I was just pointing out that these specs are closer to a 10-15 yo laser printer, which is likely cheaper to buy and print with.

      If they were producing q laser printer of similar specs with open firmware I’d be first in line to get one.

        A 10 to 15 year old laser printer is going to have its fuser fail in a year and that replacement part costs as much as a new printer.
