    I wish there was a cheap simple laser engraver that could just “burn” black the surface of generic bulk printer paper. As in an inkless monochrome printer.

    A bit like How to Cut, Score, and Engrave Paper With a Laser but without the need to use dedicated laser cutter.

    With the explosion of interest in 3D printing, machining and laser cutters, I’m just eager to get hold of a printer like that and forever give up on liquid ink and toners of all sorts.

      Maybe because they already have dot matrix printer, so that new type of printer might not be high in demand if it’s on the market today.
