That will ruin them at $1,500 to $2,000 per litre of ink...

They could provide Starbucks branded ink of which 95% of the cost is licensing fees which they pay out tax-free to themselves.

Maybe they could do some R&D to see if coffee could be used as ink.

  • I just put coffee in my printer to see...

    It kinda works, but the printouts are very faint.

    I was expecting it to clog immediately (the jets are ~10um), but it didn't.

    • Sorry to bother you but I have so many questions! Like, did you actually do it or was it just a middle joke I didn't detect? If the former, wasn't you afraid the printer won't be usable after that experiment? Didn't that worry you? Do you often experiment in this way? (Just stopping there to give otherwise the list gets too long.)
