About

Printer Magenta refers to jokes about color printers displaying error messages that they require replacement magenta ink cartridges. In early October 2018, image macros and photoshops referencing the jokes began circulating within various meme-themed communities on Reddit, many of which bore many similarities to the Moth Lamp and Beaver Log series.

Origin

On October 5th, 2018, Redditor Mazen191 submitted an American Chopper Argument image in which a printer demands a magenta cartridge (shown below). Within four days, the post gained over 14,300 points (96% upvoted) and 100 comments on /r/memes.[1]

Spread

On October 9th, the American Chopper Argument image was reposted to /r/dankmemes[5] by Redditor Haardrale. That day, Redditor TheLastBasti0n posted a magenta-themed I Bet He's Thinking About Other Girls meme to /r/dankmemes,[3] garnering upwards of 6,300 points (96% upvoted) and 60 comments within seven hours (shown below, left). Meanwhile, Redditor MrPerson561 submitted a Printer Magenta Patrick Star's Wallet image to /r/dankmemes[4] (shown below, right).

Her: He's probably thinking about other girls... Him: MAGENTA
