All inks eventually block the nozzle whether cheap or not, this is the reason I went with a Brother Mono laser as I hardly use a printer and the laser just works regardless of how frequently used.

tbh it is lack of use . Most people do not print very often and most printers heads are separate to the reservoir meaning they never get changed. HP has their heads on the cartridge so you change them every time to swap but they are really expensive. You will not block a head of a toner as it is a dry powder anyway that is why I switched to laser

Yep, laser is the way to go.
I have a Brother mono laser and a Brother colour laser, both are years old and still working fine.

A second hand bedside cabinet £10. The seller delivered it. It's pine wood. I'm chuffed with it :D

I think I would be paranoid and stressed if I had a security camera, do you have issues with people in your area or just use it for delivery drivers?

Not bought yet but about to, a 12 solar panel (hopefully they can fit more) and 15kW battery. 3 months ago we didn't even have a smart meter :shocked:.

---------- Post added at 09:36 ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 ----------

Also, an air conditioning system for 5 rooms and extensions to three sides of the house.

I wish, Mrs G loves her Temu etc

Doing the sums the solar and batteries are a no brainer. We've done the deal this morning and have gone with a 20kW battery which we'll top up over night as necessary at 8p/unit then use the next day.
