I'm currently in the market for a printer thats roughly in the $500-$700 range and have a few questions.... 1.What do you have and why do you like/hate it? 2.Whats good in this price range for color?(I'm pretty much sold on getting some sort of color to go with it--seems a crime not to on a machine like the Ami). 3.How well is it supported by popular software(like Digipaint, Dpaint, Execellence, AmigaTeX, to name a few) I've heard enough bad things about the NX1000 rainbow to just about cross it off my list... I'm using an A2000 with WorkBench 1.3 and the serial port is occupied by a modem with a Seagate ST277N HD just to give you an idea of my system. Mail me and I'll followup if enough people want me to. ---Steve OKAY@TAFS.MITRE.ORG 'My employer doesn't pay me enough to express their opinions'

Since you're at Mitre, there's about a 50% chance you're in the DC area, so one piece of advice is to stay away from a place called "Printers Plus." As of a couple years ago, it was standard practice of theirs to sell a 120 cps printer, telling prospective customers it was 160cps. It was an off-brand, the NLQ-1200, and I know a couple people who like the price and bought one. They consistently timed at 120 cps on a variety of systems. Of course, if you don't mind dealing with dishonest salespeople, ... -=- -- Jeff (martens@cis.ohio-state.edu) Now, was that Woody Allen Drive or Woody Hayes Drive? I can never keep those two straight.
