And they're an especially poor solution for text, given how expensive
inkjet ink is compared to toner or (easily-refillable) ribbon ink.
My consumer-grade inkjet printer is used almost exclusively as a
scanner. It's not a very good one, but it was free and it fits on
top of my file cabinet. The printing portion is always spuriously
reporting that it's out of ink or that the (genuine HP) cartridge
is not a genuine HP cartridge. When it's not doing that, it'll
only actually pick up the paper one time out of three. As it
turns out, I never need to print color, and if I need to print
photos, the local pharmacy has a better photo printer than I could
hope to own.

the halftoning is visible when printing out pictures, but that's why i bought it
Consumer-grade ink jet printers are rarely a good solution for *anything*.
