Non-serious for a topic that very much is, but this "fuck you, low on cyan" meme makes a lot of sense now: https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/d2bwot/printers/


CMYK processes can also do “rich” black, which uses some or all of the other inks in addition to black. The result is darker than black ink alone.


It's just that this stops being funny when the printer firmware is is hell bent on keeping the printer offline until all the cartridges are back over minimum levels. I own an older Lexmark printer that still works like a charm. But it shuts down completely if it runs low on any color. This is especially aggravating if you need to print s single page urgently and you don't have a cartridge in reserve.


just to keep the non-serious stuff together, this topic always reminds me of this tweet: https://twitter.com/PPathole/status/1116670170980859905
