We all hate printers. This book documents why. Paper jams, phantom low-ink warnings, the copier at work that only fails when you're late. Sh*tty Printers finally gives them the review they deserve.
Why Sh*tty Printers matters
Every designer has fought a printer and lost. From the first consumer inkjets to modern monsters, each machine is beautifully photographed and then torn apart, its strengths, weaknesses and charisma scored on sliding scales built from pure frustration. It's a field guide to the dumbest machines in your office, written like a spec sheet with a grudge.
Who this book is for
Designers, print nerds, retro-tech collectors and anyone who has ever whispered threats at a paper tray. A perfect desk gift for the studio.

What is vandal_?
A creative marketplace for the misfit class. We curate tools, gear, assets, fonts, streetwear and digital weapons for people rewriting the rules. No fluff. No permission. All signal.
What kind of stuff do you sell?
Display fonts. Glitch textures. Gradient payloads. Tools that hit. Hoodies, Zines, essays, assets, shirts that don’t ask. Everything is made by or curated by creators who choose to live outside the algorithm.
Is vandal_ royalty-free?
Yup. Buy it once. Use it in your work, client or personal. Don’t resell it or pretend you made it. That's the only rule.
How can I join the marketplace?
If you make dope, useful, weird, disruptive creative stuff, we want to see it. Drop us a line. We’re building this together.
Why does vandal_ feel different?
Because it is. This isn’t just commerce. It’s community, rebellion, and real creativity, all wrapped in downloadable, readable and wearable form.
