    The roll of paper is an interesting idea but where would one actually buy those? Are they a standard thing?

      It’s a thing. Print shops use these to print different formats, usually for size > office paper. I checked on DDG and could easily find a supplier in my country for sizes the fit the OpenPrinter. Not sure if the paper roll is cheaper or more convenient, given that you have to order from specialized stores, but certainly it’s a great idea.

      The ink is DRM free, but proprietary paper rolls are available for the low low price of 3x the cost of a normal pack of A4
