This is one neat printer. Unfortunately, I would rather use a regular color printer.
When it comes to printing, I print documents, pictures, and other 2D stuff. It would be nice to print some documents that have slightly raised print, but that is all I really need.
I am pretty sure that when it comes to homework, the teacher does not want a one page, three inch thick assignment. Therefore, the printer’s usability for a home user is limited.
Furthermore, the CPP(cost per page) will leave many owners questioning if this printer is really worth the money. A laser printer costs about three cents to print a page. This printer will probably cost two dollars to print a three inch thick page.
Since this printer needs to print layers, it takes time to print. Therefore, the electricity bill will be higher.
If this printer is priced under $500 and the CPP is less than 10 cents per page for a flat full-page picture, I will consider buying one. In the meantime, I will stick with the good old color laser printers.
