why do home printers fail to work as intended so often?

960 views

Books, newspapers, and magazines are printed perfectly all the time, why is it such a hassle to get home printers set up? Software is buggy and hard to work with even for professionals, and the hardware is always having issues. Home printers have been around for a long time and in general modern software is quite sophisticated. This seems like something we would have figured out by now. Even in offices, it’s hard for IT to set up printers. Why haven’t we gotten printers that just always work? Is there some fundamental problem we can’t solve?

Those products have people whose entire job is making certain they are perfectly printed. They use specialized software and often have people with decades of experience just in printing. They use hugely expensive machines to do the printing.

Comparatively we are a bunch of printing pre-schoolers trying to print using a box of broken classroom Crayolas.
