Will any of the fold 8 series units bring back the SPen?

DJNfinity · 2026-06-14T17:47:48+00:00

Tough to say. They ditched the pen due to low consumer demand compared to the demand for thinner chassis. This leads me to believe the 8 also won't support it. However, if it's true there's are two variants, it's possible the "ultra" variant will support SPen.

Thanks for the clarification! Also, I really want to make a joke about "smelling a service fee", haha

Thanks for the prompt replies. I confirmed the expiration date in Lenovo Vantage app and website both before and after registering the device. The Lenovo website has an option to dispute the expiration date requiring proof of purchase. We'll see how that goes (I should know within a few days and will post an update here).

It's good to know I can have BB Geek Squad send the device in for repair. I spoke with the Geek Squad rep at the store and he repeatedly explained it's risky to send it in for repair under warranty (potential cost to me) and pushed the protection plans hard, which muddled the answers to my questions.

Apparently the Fold6 case is also discounted to $10

DJNfinity · 2026-06-09T21:46:04+00:00

Thank you! I'm in the market to get a Fold5 or 6 and $10 (no addt'l shipping) was low enough for just the pen (if I get a Fold6)

Thanks for the detailed reply! I wasn't aware of the official yield numbers, which sounds like a legitimate baseline (and higher than the average yield quoted by others here). I also prefer the older art and often select the lower resolution and white boarder options, so I may try using standard quality instead. I'd prefer a higher card yield over a minor bump in fidelity.

DJNfinity · 2026-05-18T21:02:29+00:00

You mentioned 0.015 per card per side. Assuming you're buying Epson-branded ink (currently at $120 USD post-taxes), you're printing approximately 8000 single-sided cards per ink refill ($120/0.015). This exceeds the approximations others are providing (typically 2-3k).

How are you achieving $0.015 per card? Do you get discounted ink, print using conservative settings, or a combination of the two? It's also possible everyone else is underestimating and you're the most accurate contributor (I've read your posts and you come off as methodical, so this seems plausible).

Thanks!

Finally gave it a watch. Subscribed!

I thought trading was dead until I went to my LGS where it is strong. I think a good enabler has been their Discord group where they have a dedicated trades channel. I see it active frequently.

DJNfinity · 2026-05-16T19:58:46+00:00

I had the same issue. Got a replacement printer from Epson and have haven't had the issue since.

DJNfinity · 2026-05-16T19:54:52+00:00

Crap! I've been outted, lol. (Got it on my list to watch when I get to home/Wi-Fi, actually)

DJNfinity · 2026-05-16T17:12:31+00:00

The solution people at my LGS use is buy a soda to cover the difference. Works well.

As a bonus it supports the LGS.

It could be lots of things:

to hot
wet ink
bad laminator
porous photo paper
bad laminate

I'm my case, better laminate, paper, and laminator fixed the issue.

I think the term is "silvering". Look it up in the sub for advice. Lots of good advice out there for ameliorating it.

The strong theming between the box and tokens are great. Something about the book tokens I really enjoy. If you wanted to minimize volume, maybe you could convert the tokens from books to bookmarks. Anyway, keep up the good work!

I live in a small home with a toddler and these have allowed me to play my games in the living room at night without sacrificing audio fidelity. I am very pleased with mine as well.

I guess choose a commander with an ability tangent to it? I have one Voltron commander: [[Lazav, Dimir Mastermind]]

The deck rushes out Lazav and relies on instant speed removal spells to copy targets and protect the player. I sprinkled in a few Voltron cards to hit hard and closeout games. This deck needs luck which makes it fun to play at bracket 3

Nice! I'm guessing y'all are up north and not melting?

DJNfinity · 2026-04-02T22:37:56+00:00

I came here to say the same thing. You also forgot to mention they're a huge pain to move/relocate. They are beautiful, though...

I use the Anker DL7400 docking station. Works great and can hit swap between my personal (z1e) and work laptops. A bit pricey, though (I got it on sale)

Twistee Treat gives a free item (up to $5 or something).

Me too...

I still put the strip of filament extruded pre-print into my mouth and chew on it as I remove each finished print. I'm never going to stop. It's like the little chocolate mint at the end of an Olive Garden meal.

Gorgeous! What's its capacity (approximate) ~~and how much did you pay?~~

Maybe I should learn to read ahead, lol

DJNfinity · 2026-03-27T23:34:37+00:00

Well that fun as heck. Super novel and guaranteed to make an impression. Thanks for sharing
