There is apparently a printer that can use spent coffee or tea leaves to print. I love this idea but I would not buy a printer when so many are being thrown away. I pull them out of dumpsters with intent to repair them. So the question is, can they be hacked to work with coffee or tea?
Canon actually disclosed how to hack their cartridges as a consequence of a semiconductor shortage due to coronavirus. So this suggests #Canon could be a candidate for this hack. Has anyone tried it? How precisely do we have to match the viscosity of homemade ink to the original ink?
Why stop at composting? Spent coffee grounds can be blended with plastic from bottles and under high pressure form a yarn to make fabric (#coffeeFabric). The fabric could be the medium the printer prints on.
I’m a little concerned that my coffee intake may not be enough to supply my printing needs.
Better have another cup.
