Freedom of the press

Imagine an inkjet printer that you could repair yourself, and where you were actually encouraged to refill the cartridges!

That’s the aim of the Open Printer project.

If the idea of printing from a roll of paper seems strange, you need to know that it incorporates a cutter too, so you can print single pages, and you’re not restricted to one size of paper.

If, like many of us, you don’t print very much these days, wouldn’t it be nice to get the printer off your desk, and hang it on the wall?

I think this is a splendid idea, and I’ve signed up for updates (even though we already have three large printers in the house!)

I really hope they succeed.

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks:
