sobi1991@dunkirk.EDU (kevin sobilo) (12/19/89)

I am looking for a color printer for my C64 hoping to get a color
digitizer one of these days..

What would be the best color printer i could get for say $200-$300!

What are the pros and cons of each....I am presently looking at
a NX1000c color printer or an Okimate 20 color printer!!!!!

You input is graetly appreciated!!!

THANX IS +VANCE!!!!!

I don't think, personally that a digitizer for the C-64 would be worth 
it. An Amiga (500 or 2000) however has hardware specifically designed 
for such things( it has a separate sound and graphics chip). The quality
of the C-64 graphics for digitizing isn't real good. If you want to 
digitize, then you want near photographic picture quality, not crude 
blocks making up the picture. I'm not putting down the C-64 (I have one 
myself) just helping you. I don't know about this, but if you bought a 
camera for digitizing I guess you could use it later on an Amiga ( if 
you decide to upgrade) but I highly doubt that the genlock you use for 
the C-64 will be compatible......oh well....
