Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

Brother compact mono laser printer, I hardly use my Epson inkjet so the ink always dries up and even after cartridge replacement and cleaning the nozzles are still blocked, so hopefully going laser will fix this issue as I can't risk barcodes on flight boarding passes not working!

So new laser printer is great and far better than an inkjet.

My question is if I don't use it for several months is that going to cause me issues with printing like it would with an inkjet?

That's what I thought but I read things about humidity causing issues.

mine is sat under the stairs neither my mono or colour printers have shown any issues. Had the mono for a few years and hardly ever used it and had cheap toners installed

The lasers are generally a much better bet than inkjet. I've a mono that is a couple of years old and after moderate use still prints fine.

On subject of Ninja, Paul, how’s the woodfire grill? Worth the money ?

Used it 3 times so far, once on a windy day (when I could not have used my BBQ).
Easy to use, and the results have been great, nicely grilled. So yes, so far I'm pleased with it. :)

I have not tried using the smoker yet, thats on my to-do list.

The only potential issue with Laser Printers is heat.

They use heat to set the toner on the page, thats why if you get it on you when clearing a jam you wash in cold soapy water, so not to set it on you.

Weed killer refill, long nettle gloves and luggage tags.

There seems to be a change from Amazon for me lately I can order at a few mins before midnight and get my delivery the next day, normally I would have to have ordered alot earlier.

New chromebook. Lenovo IdeaPad 5

Took 15 minutes to set up and it feels like my old Acer on steroids, careering down hill with my foot pressing down hard on the accelerator.

iPad 10th gen (2022 model) - price just dropped 27% off, and it’s to replace SWMBO’s 2016 iPad which is no longer capable of receiving OS updates, and is running very slow…
