Open source printer with refillable ink, no bullshit, accept rolls of papers.

Finally an open source printer ! I dealt with so much stupidity with printers. it warm my heart.

I do have too much joy to practice mandatory critical thinking about the release of a new project. Lets talk about it? i am not the only one to be happy about it, i have no info about the price though :/

I don't actually know but I imagine it's all voluntary. It seems like kind of an endless tail chase to constantly limit anything that could feasible be used to commit a crime. Actual counterfeiting with any success requires some pretty specialized shit. Honestly if this printer could be configured to meet those specifics them more power to them. End of the day though I wouldn't imagine this being the gateway to massive expansions in the counterfeit market.

Still doesn't atop them from regulating 3d printers like crazy

Those regulations are silly. It doesn't stop you from using your 3D printer to print a 3D printer that has no restrictions
