Printer, my beloved. I will never stop singing Brother’s praises 😂 I have a Brother Inkjet, which turns out really good image quality - leagues and bounds above my shitty HP printer. The dream is to one day also have a laser (I’ll probably stick with Brother - they’ve been good to me ever since college, too), so I can print text and images on the respective printers and save on ink. My printer is also an auto duplex, and I’ll never go back. YOU CAN’T MAKE ME GO BACK.

I had a brother too, and it's autoduplex, a laser and have a big toner. It's marvellous. I want to learn how to "trick" it to print papers in non-standard sizes. I know it can be done, but I haven't sort how yet. The Brother brand is a good one, so reliable.

On the other end of the machines, there is my Cricut maker. I bought it used three months ago and haven't had the head or time to learn how to use it properly to make my books. The materials and supplies are very expensive here in Chile and I'm a bit regretful of purchasing it.
