The need for self-masturbation (circlejerk) runs strong in people. “Wow, look at my cool new lips/ass/boobs/ink.”. Yep, all things that we as a human race should be really proud of 😒.
I wish I lived on another planet, this one never really felt like home anyway.
Maybe, I’ve only had experience with a few of them, not hundreds… never had any problems with the swingplate. Feeder rubbers, yes, but that’s a common problem on all printers, you just sand those down a bit and they work like new.
These can still be pretty good if used for home printers, 30K pages without a problem, that’s a lot for home use. You could probably still get one of these for like $100 second hand. That’s not a bad deal considering how good these things are.
Ricoh are great, but I’ve had bad experience with Xerox. Xerox used to be great, but they dropped in quality the last decade or so. Ricoh are still great though.
