Had an interesting conversation with a good JobCardTs client, Arno from Anderwald Automotive the other day.
We got around to talking about printers. I know, not the normal conversation you'd have, but still Arno knows that I'm a Brother "fan boy" and was telling me about how he saw the light and became a Brother brother.
Arno had a number of printers (brand name will remain anonymous to protect the guilty), over a 12 month period. Every printer failed when a new ink cartridge was loaded! Let me just re-iterate. Every printer failed when a new ink cartridge was loaded!
Now to be fair, the workshop does get dusty and greasy from time to time. Arno probably thinks it's worse than it really is, I think it seems fairly clean for a large workspace.
Arno has three Brother printers! Yes, you heard right. Three. Two in the workshop (not in an office in the workshop!) and one at home.
He was telling me that a mate of his told him to get a Brother after the third previous printer failed. He was sceptical, the Brother cost a bit more, but he was told he wouldn't regret it.
And he hasn't.
In the workshop.
Two printers.
Been there for over two years.
Still working perfectly, every time!
