I completely disagree with the designer in the article here. He states that reducing the amount of ink used can have major ecological impacts and goes on to state that printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids, which is true, but that . only tells a part of the story. Printer ink is expensive not because its components are scarce but because it can be. Companies can sell printers for cheap and then make a quick buck by charging an arm and a leg for the ink. Sure cutting down on ink use would save companies money, but acting like there is some sort of ecological impact is disingenuous

"artificial beauty is as old as the moving image, and the lore runs deep" It's been long known that Hollywood goes through extensive efforts to make every actor, actress, and model pristine works of art.

It's pretty insane to think that things like that are happening
