Hey, /diy/..
Is it possible to make your own homemade printer ink somehow?
>>
And yes, I know the pic is of a LaserJet printer, my mistake >>1001003
>>
>>1001003
you can get a huge bottle of ink for like $10

I've refilled mine tons of times and I still have a lot left

I got a printer at a rummage sale for $2 and the black ink still worked
>>
>>1001003
It might be possible to farm octopii and/or squid and harvest their ink. Please try it and report back.
>>
>>1001322
finely ground charcoal suspended in a slightly viscous aquatic solution? (Don't use it on a new printer)
>>
>>1001851
That's unreasonably complicated compared to squid solution.
>>
>>1001859
In your reply you forgot the 'farm' part. Which in my humble opinion adds quite the amount of complexity/time investment.
>>
>>1001322
Going to try this. Any reasonable places that sell octopii for less than $50? I've got an old printer ready to go.
>>
>>1001003
ink is super cheap not worth the effort
just don't buy cheap printers that has expensive inconvenient to fill cartridges
>>
>>1003058
Recommendations?
>>
>>1003298
purchase an old laser printer, like an hp 2200.
>>
But will you make your own homemade printer after your homemade ink immediately clogs the printer heads in your existing printer and ruins it forever?
>>
>>1003541
home made plotter would make more sense
