You should print 28 boxes of 3-part forms on a dot matrix printer. Then decollate the bottom page and trim the right edge off of all of them.
You will certainly not regret printing/decollating/trimming 28 boxes of 3-part forms every month for ten years.
Just think of all the fun stuff you can do with the paper ribbons you tear off! That absolutely makes up for any and all pain and suffering endured in the process!

Meh. Wake me up when you get a daisy wheel printer. Actually, never mind, the printer will wake me up.
I can hear that smaller image.
Getting a clean tear off the perforated ribbons was so satisfying.
Nah, what you need is one of these.
The printer is for the sound, this is for smell
Good ol’ Ditto machine .
Wow haven’t seen paper like this since I was a kid. My school didn’t have much of a budget for printing equipment.

This brings back middle school memories.
For carbon copy paper, of course. Inkjets don’t work for that.

For reliability, of course. I can always whip out my OKI, whenever the other printers has issues. 100% of the time it works every time.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. I worked in an asphalt lab and I can hear that printer going. Now I can even smell the bitumen in the air.
Making the springey-thingeys with the feed strips.
Good times.
I print so rarely I feel like the ink would dry out and I wouldn’t notice until it was too late.
Perfect usecase for dot matrix printers then. I print max once a year, good to know I have something that works

That’s the peak model too
For a while I was a certified Oki printer service technician. Those things were fun to repair!
They were NOT fun to remove wayward labels from.
You would press print and it would just print

… no
Re inking ribbons for the win!
Yall need the gigachad gutenberg press, losers
Cousin of the guillotine.
