I have been eyeballing the color printer that is being sold by Tandy.
I am wondering if anyone has ever hooked one up for use on their ST and what
kind of results they had. I am looking for something to do some color
printing as well as doing some rough drafts of my DTP work before taking it
down to the school to laser print.
If anyone has any experience with these, I would appreciate it.
Especially with postscript files.

No experience with a Radio Shack printer, BUT... I've got a Fijitsu DX-2100 color printer that I never use anymore since I've sold the rest of my system. I paid $500 for it about 3 years ago, And I'd like to get about $225 or so for it now. It's a real workhorse and it's Epson JC-80 compatible which makes it work with any software. I had excellent results with it on my ST. Fujitsu is a really big company. They still make a similiar model which uses the same ribbons. Most of their products are used in industry, so you don't see a lot of them anywhere else. If you're interested, let me know... -- Brian Casper bcasper@eos.ncsu.edu NCSU - Project EOS (witty .sig pending)

Hey, I have no experience with a Radio Schlack [sic] color printer, but I do have a Fujitsu DX-2100 Color printer that I don't use anymore. Fujitsu's are big in industry and business, and the company makes just about everything you can thing of for computers - they're here to stay... The model that I have is about 3 years old, and has been replaced with another version that uses the same ribbons, so there is no problem getting them. I have no use for the thing since I've sold my ST and have no computer. It is Epson compatible and uses a JC-80 driver so it works with just about any program. I've got some old Tom Hudson driver that will allow dumps from any screen as well. I paid about $500 for it back then, and I'd like to get about $225 for it now. It's really quite a tank of a printer, it has a really pleasing NearLetterQuality mode, and is about 210 cps in draft. Lemme know if you're interested. -- Brian Casper bcasper@eos.ncsu.edu NCSU - Project EOS (witty .sig pending)

Sorry for the triple post here, but I just figured out where this new version of mxrn sent my e-mail... -- Brian Casper bcasper@eos.ncsu.edu NCSU - Project EOS (witty .sig pending)
