My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print.
My inkjet printer was powered off for 2 weeks. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and was instantly disappointed with a streaky, blotchy output. Running a clean cycle just made the output worse.
Why are 2D printers so terrible despite decades of development? What are some 2D printers this community has had good interactions with/would recommend?

Brother laser printers are great.
I got mine almost a decade ago and I’ve replaced the toner once, never had issues with it.
It just works
Haven’t used mine for 2 years, but it worked with the first toner for over a decade now.
Thank you, brother. Which brand do you recommend?
Second! I love my brother
At this point it might just be more reliable to print a 1 layer thick text document on my 3D printer.
I just strap a marker to the head of my 3D printer and then program it to write on some paper.
I have an HP inkjet printer that qualifies for their Instant Ink program. I am currently on the free plan that allows printing up to 15 pages a month for free. When the ink runs low they send me more ink (for free). If I happen to go over 15 pages/month, its only like $1 for another 10 pages, so not a big penalty.
They’re not great.
My dad signed up somehow years ago. He doesn’t even have a printer anymore. He swears he’s canceled, but I keep seeing a monthly bill. They aren’t even sending him ink. Thanks for reminding me that I need to get the bank to stop charges.
That sucks to hear. In my case I am not paying them a dime and still getting free prints out of it.
I’ve had two HP laserjets, and on each one I’ve printed thousands of pages sometimes years in between prints.
