"If there is one word that’s commonly associated with printers, it’s
frustration. The ink’s expensive, the products are cheaply made, and they are
almost impossible to modify and repair. Consumer-grade printers are awful, and
the OpenTools Openprinter plans to change that.
The Openprinter is “coming soon” to the crowdfunding platform Crowd Supply. The
printer is designed to be compact, repairable, and widely compatible with
easy-refill inks. The printer uses off-the-shelf parts and can print pages up
to A3 in size, supporting standard printer paper and A3-edged paper rolls.
A new video has been released showcasing a fully functional prototype. The
printer has no DRM, uses open-source firmware, and has an electronic and
mechanical design licensed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
That means that people are allowed to freely use and adapt this printer’s
design for their own projects. However, users must share their projects under
the same license."
