If you gave it just the right set of images it would be like a movie.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Man! Imagine the paper cut you could get at that speed!

Indeed. It's running joke about lethal paper cuts. The other joke is "baptism" when the machine dumps ink on you.

That only happens when you are wearing a new suit and / or tie to meet a client ...

We actual did that to a corporate guy touring one of the labs. Some tubing on a test stand cut loose and sprayed him with yellow ink.
We bought him a new suit  .

Have heard that in such printer systems, the software is generally the slower component amongst hardware and software; hardware, even though mechanical / electro-mechanical is faster among the two.
Is this true?

We have dedicated computers and hardware to handle high-speed interactions. Print data for example is sent over fiber optic links from the data source to the printheads.
Our controller application (the part I work on) is a Windows UI application and a group of services, all heavily multithreaded.

We sell ink in 5L "cubies" (think wine box, just cubical), 208L drums, and 1000+L tubs.

LMAO.
I remember years ago someone made the calculation and posted that if ink (the ink-jet cartridge type) sold at linear prices, it would come down to something stupid like $9000 a gallon.
I'm guessing this is not quite the same scale.

Having worked on such printers back in the 90's in my hardware maintenance days, often in the middle of the night (one such night with a 102 degree fever), I bet I can make a very good guess which company you work for.

Is it that the company will not buy a bigger drive? Or perhaps they just think the company will not?

I've mentioned this to our hardware wrangler, and nothing's happened. He's not the most motivated guy.

CAPEX (capital expenses) and OPEX (operating expenses) are different budget categories. In many cases, the tax treatment differs, too.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Little does she know it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time.

Tell her that it's a L2 Wash-through cache and that the laundry bin is for Dirty items.

Two hard problems in computer science are cache validation and naming things. I suspect you're losing the cache validation problem, while your girlfriend has mastered the naming one.
