From: Steven T. Kirsch <SK @ MIT-MC> I saw an Ink Jet Olivetti printer for $199 in a catalog from DAK Industries (800/325-0800) which is a mail-order company like "The Sharper Image." The description said that Docutel bought out Olivetti USA and that Docutel isn't interested in marketing a low-cost printer. So DAK bought all 12,000 printers from Olivetti. It also said that Olivetti introduced the printer in April. I've seen zero in print about this printer and the story and price sound fishy, but then there's that "30-day money back guarantee" and "standard Olivetti limited warranty." What's going on here? The printer has 110 (horiz) x 216 resolution and prints 110 cps. DAK sells replacement Ink Jet ampules, cables, and graphics dump software for it too!
