Default Annoying printers

inkjet printers have a wider colour gamut and can be calibrated for a

not. they can also accept a wider range of media, including directly
printing on cd/dvds.


I don't own an inkjet but have seen many cases where the ink runs on a
print if it gets wet. Are models available where the ink is permanent?


for dye-based inks, it might run if it gets wet immediately after
printing, but once it dries (minutes), it won't. pigment-based inks
don't need additional dry time.

very few people print something and then get it wet, so its not
actually a problem.

laser printers are suitable for text. colour laser (which can get
expensive) is suitable for simple graphics where colour accuracy
doesn't matter. laser printers also have a more limited range of
acceptable media.


And the ink won't run.


modern inkjet prints don't run in normal use (and most abnormal use for
that matter).

if this mythical sales brochure includes photos of products, inkjet is
definitely the better choice so that the product is accurately shown.


Not if a postman has to deliver them on a rainy day.


even then, since the mail will be in a mailbox and not sitting outside
in the rain.

or try using an envelope.
