I am wondering why apple discontinued their printers?
This is something apple need to keep in mind regarding the rumours they are going into the car business. It isn't their core market, they have NFI what they're doing in that market, and shouldn't bother (IMHO).
They were not making profits - simple.
So what your saying is the cost of the overhead meant they were not making much money. Kind of what I was saying. Resources, are salaries, people, materials, so all of the overhead needed to run a printer line was more then what they were pulling in, i.e., losses vs profits.I'm sure that's not quite true - or it's not always simple. Apple have discontinued plenty of things that were profitable, the problem being that a tiny bit of profit might be taking a lot of resources to make - resources that could be more profitable working on other projects.
But I loved their printers paired well with macintosh computers.
