My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print.

My inkjet printer was powered off for 2 weeks. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and was instantly disappointed with a streaky, blotchy output. Running a clean cycle just made the output worse.

Why are 2D printers so terrible despite decades of development? What are some 2D printers this community has had good interactions with/would recommend?

I have a Espon ET-5150. Its worked fine so far but I wish my wife would’ve let me spring for a laser printer.

I have an HP inkjet printer that qualifies for their Instant Ink program. I am currently on the free plan that allows printing up to 15 pages a month for free. When the ink runs low they send me more ink (for free). If I happen to go over 15 pages/month, its only like $1 for another 10 pages, so not a big penalty.
