  • They are not sub par, they are dye based, which fade when continuously exposed to UV. Pigment inks are used in photo oriented printers, like prosumer and pro photo printers. Dye tends to clog less, pigment need more constant use.

    Laser color printers are better in every respect except for photos. Laser color printers usually have a 300-600 DPI native resolution, while 1440 is common in inkjet printers. Also, inkjet puts liquid on the page, which means that a good driver can actually blend inks to achieve a much greater color gamut, while lasers can only put one of the 4 basic CMYK colors in a point.

    Different use cases.


  • The thing is that Fahrenheit is basically arbitrary. From what I read in Wikipedia, 0 is the temperature of some harebrained brine solution, and 100 the approximate temperature of the human body.

    Temperatures may make more sense to you because of habit, but the references are nonsensical.

    Knowing that 0 is where water freezes, and that 100 is where water boils, is a way more useful reference in general.

    I know that 18 is a baseline comfort temperature, 30 is nice hot weather, anything above 38 is damn hot. normal body temp around 37…

    We usually remember reference temperatures in whatever scale we use, but the basis of Centigrade seems way more logical to me.
