Open source printer with refillable ink, no bullshit, accept rolls of papers.

Finally an open source printer ! I dealt with so much stupidity with printers. it warm my heart.

I do have too much joy to practice mandatory critical thinking about the release of a new project. Lets talk about it? i am not the only one to be happy about it, i have no info about the price though :/

Im translating from french, but not seeing any expected dates, did I miss it? I'm very interested in the project, but the team seems to not be communicating to anyone anywhere after the initial announcement page.

    We are officially in the final preparation phase before the campaign goes live on Crowd Supply this Autumn. The next time you hear from us, we’ll be sharing the official launch date, roadmap, complete technical specifications, and final pricing details.

    Sounds like in the next 3 months?

    Yea, I don't see any firm dates about anything. They mention opening up on CrowdSupply this fall (just updated today).

    I hope they're crazy successful.

    This is so cool. I went to Brother printer long time ago and said goodbye to color printing, since got tired of all the stupid stuff around refills. So been doing black and white laser printing, but having color as an option again without the proprietary stuff would be nice.

    Interesting that you can both use a paper roll and a sheet. Pretty compact as well for a printer!
