We have the normal printer, which can print in different colors, but one page can only have one color.

What about a "picture" printer, where you can give each pixel an individual color and you can make it fully filled like in term. Also the printer has more space and if you craft together the output of the printer + frame it will give an painting which you can put on your wall.

Hope you like the idea,

Luca

Well, you can actually print in different colors on the same page. You can simply put an already printed page inside the printer and print on top of it (the old content will not be lost) with a different dye. However, what is not possible is that we cannot have the pixel background color altered.

Oh, didn't knew that, you probably can print this(█) Character, I will try(It actually worked), but a picture printer would be easier and you could print bigger.

yeah it would be nicer just to have a picture printer, however it could also be called an advanced printer, like the advanced computer

Maybe an advanced printer that can hold all 16 dyes, and thus print all 16 colors?
