💭 The Daily Verdict – Print-to-PDF Philosophy Series #1
A printer cartridge costs more than Champagne.
And it doesn’t even sparkle.
Five millilitres.
R350.
No occasion.
No joy.
You print a boarding pass,
a school slip,
an invoice for something already regretted —
and it’s gone.
No bouquet.
No celebration.
Just a cartridge sulking in the bin
and a bank balance that flinched.
Next time someone questions your wine budget,
show them your ink receipt.
You’re not printing documents.
You’re bottling liquid gold.
And yes — your printer knows when it’s running low.
That’s not a warning.
It’s a ransom note.
