Has anyone tried these bargain - basement printers out??? The Silver-Reed
is a daisy-wheel type (a tractor - feed is available for $70);
the Gorilla/Banana (made by C.ITOH) is a dot matrix; the Olivetti
uses spark ink-jet technology. I don't intend to print anything fancy
at home (or even that much), but I suppose graphics capability would be
nice (the Silver-Reed will do limited graphics using periods ). All
of these machines seem underpriced - the question is, do 'you get what
you pay for???????????????' I'd be very interested if someone has
had any experience with 1 or more of these machines to give me some comments.
As usual, if I get enough responses, I'll summarize.
Thanx.
