The printer company is called Procolored.
Also it’s for a UV printer, not an inkjet or laser printer, with the cheapest option on their website being $1900 and the average being around $6000. So, not a regular printer you would buy off the shelf. It’s still bad of course, but only so many people even could be impacted by it.
That's almost worse. Because then you'll be more inclined to trust them.
Yeah, I would expect a printer I paid 6k for to not have malware!
