Why text no green?

Cost cutting measures due to inflation. Green ink is expensive.

Fun fact, this is for the benefit of law enforcement. Your papers have faint tracking numbers printed on, and require the other colors to do it. Is it a good system? Should you send HP hate mail in quantities high enough to ddos them? Will there be a third question? I wouldn’t know

But you can actually buy black and white printers so how does that work?

They print it in faint black.

As I asked, is it a good system? Should you fax black paper to HP in a never ending loop? Hard to say, but I know what I believe in my heart of hearts

No it's the green pixels that cost too much.

in OLED screens the colors wear out over time at different rates, so you may be correct

It’s a good greentext, sir

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We need a greytext community where lemmyites make the texts instead of 4chan

[–] Uri@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

Agreed

Colorblind

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Colorblind!? Sir, I am sure that text is green. Just like this image of innocuously colorful dots.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

Shit I'm colourblind too.
