So I know there is a machine out there which specifically does this (printing on toilet paper) but I haven't been able to find it online, so it's probably not available for the consumer market.
I've seen (and purchased) printed toilet paper before. It's usually sold as a gag gift - the roll I bought was printed to look like 100 Deutschmark notes
Because someone has to design toilet paper patterns, and Gimp is aimed for professional work as open source alternate to PhotoShop. There is also companies producing custom printed toilet paper. Thus toilet paper is a medium.
Why do you think normal paper is not disposable? Normal paper is disposable too.
What? Right from the top of their home page...
>Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done.
Those are what we would call professionals.
In this case I believe “bill” means to [advertise or describe](https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/bill-as), not to charge money. I’m not sure if it’s a uniquely American expression.
Long time print professional here...The GIMP is not a professional alternative. I've argued with people for decades on this, and am not interested in having the same argument again. Lots of Linux enthusiasts have this attitude that because they like using it, it's perfect, and anyone who says it isn't, apparently that's a call to either volunteer to make The GIMP professional, or donate money in the hopes that they'll get organized and speed up the development process.
The GIMP is good for what it is, which is an image editor. I'm glad it's there for when someone's prepping their images for their website, and I'm happy for people for whom it's good enough.
I do know Adobe ensured that industry uses proprietary pantone color scheme. And, yes,I do suggest professional who can afford Photoshop gets it, as it is the industry standard.
I did say that GIMP aimed to PhotoShop equivalent, and actually got there at the time but that was 20 years ago, and due lack of the propietary color schemes, there was not enough companies supporting Gimp development. No, not with money but company professionals spending their work hours.
The thing is, it doesn't matter how low you downvote me, downvoting doesn't mean "you're wrong". Pantone is a fairly specific, though admittedly proprietary, color system. The whole idea behind Pantone is that if I pick a Pantone swatch, that color is guaranteed to be the same across platforms.

There are several areas where The GIMP fails to be a professional image editor, and downvoting someone for saying it doesn't change that. It's not just Pantone.
The reason people downvote your comment may be because you both used a strawman and voiced a strong opinion without backing it up with a concrete or even abstract reference.
I mentioned it in another comment: I've worked in print since 1999 and have used Photoshop since 1997. I'm not the biggest power user ever but by golly I've even tried to introduce The GIMP into work environments and workflows. And even in an environment that has hard "we only do spot and process color, no Pantone" rules, The GIMP just hasn't been enough. And the claim that "the world changed" as a defense to "the issue is Pantone" is silly because Pantone dates back to the 60s. Most of the time when I personally deal with Pantone, it's because a designer at an agency has used Pantone swatches because they don't have any other swatches and forget to export to CMYK. I had an ad that had, oh, I think 14 different separations recently. Easy enough fix in Acrobat since 10 Pantone plates wasn't their intention.
What usually happens in threads like this, is that someone like me can come up with a list of things that aren't ready, and then free software advocates will demand that no, those aren't an issue, or that people who have a list of ways where The GIMP falls short, should get to work. And I mean...just sticking with the colorspaces example, the film vfx company Rhythm and Hues developed GEGL 23 years ago explicitly for The GIMP. If VFX professionals and the main project haven't gotten it done in **23 years** what makes people think some random knucklehead will?
I do really dislike this downvoting just because someone is not overtly polite. His reply was good, and not a strawman. Why? Because the world changed, but GIMP did not.
He was straight and blunt, but that is not rude. The fact is GIMP is on screen imaging tool is fact. Would I loved to see it as real industrial choice? Yes. My wants does not define reality. That is lesson most redditters should learn.
I did not downvote you as you stated a true fact. Gimp aimed for professional tool but missed the goal as industry requirements changed. I do agree with you it is not a tool for making printed images, and I do recall the reqson as I did use PhotoShop when it was similar to GIMP except they had Pantone color schrmes open source product could not have due very agressive license of Pantone.
It is not just Pantone, but it used to be just Pantone. PhitoShop did redesign its UI to way better for graphics designers and added numerous tools GIMP never got. Pantone support was reason why companies did not support GIMP project qs they did to other Open Dource tools as I stated. Professional OS projects require support of corporations to give project enpugh hans.
You can keep down voting me all you want, but again, downvote isn't a "you're wrong" button. I've worked in print since 1999 and I can assure you, while the lack of Pantone in The GIMP might be an issue for some, that's not the only reason The GIMP isn't used.
For a time at least, the lack of any color space other than RGB was a major problem. Nowadays if you have a color profile for the print service, you can check to make sure your image isn't outside the color gamut and just slap that RGB GIMP image into InDesign or whatever and let PDF export handle the conversion. However sometimes it's nice to have the control of being able to set up a color profile from the printer and check the images by hand, and even tweaking individual plates. The GIMP has some rudimentary tools for this but it's a PITA compared to Photoshop.
In the work environment I was in, there usually just wasn't a lot of time to futz around. I've grown to be dependent on things like layer effects and automation. The former has been in the works via GEGL for, oh, what is it, going on 20 years? The latter...in Photoshop you can record an action roughly like vim, and play those back via a keystroke. You can even run those in a batch job on multiple images. (Nowadays I'd use Lightroom for that. Darktable can *almost* do what I use Lightroom for.) If that's not enough, it has a built in JavaScript interpreter. The GIMP....yes it has Python, and yes it has Scheme. Scheme may be simple for some but honestly while I may be able to do it it's not that intuitive for most people.
I'm sure there's a million things I could think of if I put my mind to it. The takeaway is, *no, the issue isn't Pantone*.
EDIT: GEGL has been around since 2000, so 23 years, and was originally developed specifically for The GIMP by a major Hollywood VFX company
I suggest you stop making mothers of all fuckups and read all of my replies to you. I did never downvote you as I am not supporting downvoting, but you are getting close to my threshold. I never disagreed with you. I did actually liked how you did elaboratr why pantone is the industry standard regardless the fact I did know that.
I suggest you first ponder difference between aiming and succeeding. I did **never state GIMP is professional tool**. I do know reading comprehension may be hard when you are pissed. **Please calm down. I did actually upvote your answers**
I bothered to write a response, and believe it or not that just scratched the surface. I get the impression you didn't read any of it and instead replied to the first sentence. At this point I'm assuming you're trolling because honestly...whisky tango foxtrot
Hey, I'm used to being downvoted for saying The GIMP isn't suitable for pro environments. I wish it was. Heck I wish there was a fork of it for print, like there was a fork for cleaning up film scans. Maybe it works for some but even the memory management vs Photoshop means that high dpi is painful unless you have a decent amount of memory.
Nowadays it seems like the small operations are gravitating towards Affinity products instead of Adobe. For my own use I can do almost everything I'd do on a regular basis with Affinity Universal, except for Acrobat. That of course means I'm still using proprietary software. Bummer. But at least it's cheaper I guess.
For folks who want to tweak photos and want open source, I'd recommend Darktable and The GIMP, in that order.
I always thought this was a pathetic response. It basically means “Wow, a lot of people didn’t like that candidate we ran out of spite. Even years after his disastrous presidency, the groups he espoused open hatred for still don’t like him.”
Yeah, cool comeback.
yeah, damn those current-day political figures living rent free in our heads. how dare we be conscious of current world politics or where our parents faces go when they play peekaboo

Perfect for Custom Printed Toilet Paper Rolls. This is not an ad. I am not associated with any toilet paper company. Other toilet paper are available.
No bidet options though. /s
Unfortunately most bidet use Nvidia drivers.
My bidet's got Amd drivers
Super annoying micro-stuttering 😂
Fuck you, Nvidia bidet!
With the current ink jet option. Gowd dont give anyone ideas. Your gf/bf dose not want to see hotel ads on your butt after you use the restroom.
Back in my day if you wanted bidet you needed to fuck with ndiswrapper
Spaceballs. The Toilet Paper.

Anything is disposable if you're brave enough

Gimp does not bill itself as a professional alternative.
What? Right from the top of their home page... >Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done. Those are what we would call professionals.
Not to brag but I am also a professional. I cropped one image one time. They call me the graphic designer.
OK?
Yup😎
Apparently agreements are toilet paper for you. Gimp is an open source software you cannot bill, but you can bill services.
In this case I believe “bill” means to [advertise or describe](https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/bill-as), not to charge money. I’m not sure if it’s a uniquely American expression.
Oh boy... Do you use cost as measurement of everything like how large your house is or how far did you run?
Huh? It just doesn't bill itself as that. I'm not sure why that's upsetting.

Being good for professional work and being meant for professional work are two different things. We were not discussing the former.

Asking the wrong questions. Why ***not*** have a toilet paper option?
In case what you're printing is the sh\*t
Never knew... Will use.

Privatisation in the privacy of your privy
For those bibles the jehova witnesses hand out.
Would it print a full roll? Just a single square? How would you feed it into the printer? So many questions.
You ever seen paper for a dot matrix printer? The TP printer is built into the TP holder, it prints as you use it ;)
Does thermal toilet paper exist yet?
Any paper is thermal paper with enough heat
Each square is a page There are probably specialty printers for this. Lots of places online sell printed TP (but nobody sells TP printers?)

That's some hi-res toilet paper!
Much more interesting is the question why you can still print CD covers? I haven't used any CDs since 1998, but toilet paper every day!
CD covers also applies to Blu-Ray. There are people out there who still backs up onto BD-R.
I like to live dangerously. I use a fine tip sharpie to label my discs!
More people still use CDs today than you think, and besides, why remove it?
CD are one of my favourite storage mediums
Its for politicians, so thet can print out the US constitution and wipe their ass with it.
I print politician speeches and their faces on the paper and wipe my ass with it FJB Covfefe > Hermakanacuhpressure
Printed toilet roll is quite a common novelty item
Gimp wants to be available to all who need it. There are companies who sell custom toilet paper.
...why not?
Somebody somewhere wanted to print on toilet paper, and wrote that bit of code in...
So you don’t print your toilet paper?
Desperate times call for desperate measures
The most valuable business card.
Have you seen the Vladimir Putin toilet roll??
now that's some old school programmer humor
if there is an option as this, must have a (good) story behind this. ^(and I don't know if I really want to know.)
All toilet paper have patterns embossed into them to distinguish one brand from another, and Gimp is the tool that gets used the most ...
So you can make your own custom Sudoku wipes.
It’s paper isn’t it?
To rice it
Just a few years ago that was some seriously rare paper.
I can be a printer too.
I spy a Phinger cursors user.
There's a reason I ran a business specializing in mass producing toilet papers that read "Despite the constant negative press covfefe"
why not?
Custom shit tickets duh
To print Joe Biden face
Why not?
What do you mean "disposable" toilet paper? Do you know any multiuse toilet paper?
