Hullo,
I have a few questions regarding printers
available for the Mac. Sorry if this is a repeat.
My primary need for a printer is for general use,
such as listings and papers, but plan to do some work
in image processing. If my needs were strictly limited
to listings, I'd get the cheapest/quickest available,
but I have other needs to consider.
1. How good is the GCC WriteMove? Does anyone have
any positive/negative experience with it? How
fast is it? General impressions? ( ~ $520 )
2. Is the ImageWriter II worth the $$$? How does it
compare the the GCC, since they are in the same
price range? ( ~ $450 )
3. Is the HP DeskWriter versatile enough to be of
use for general printing, not just high quality
text and graphics ? (somewhat more expensive,
~ $900 )
4. Is anyone familiar with the Seikosha model which
is alleged to be compatible with the IW II?
( the el cheapo of the bunch, ~ $ 250 )
These are the models with which I am familiar,
and would appeciate any information regarding their
performance. At the present time I have an older
Mac SE with a 100 meg internal and 4 meg of RAM, so
memory considerations, if any, are not an issue.
Also, how does each printer perform with ATM,
which I do not have but am considering purchasing
at a later date?
