[net.micro] Information about Epson printers

jcw@cvl.UUCP (07/02/83)

A friend of mine runs a buisness and needs a *durable* printer that
can produce reasonably good print on single sheets of paper, and do
detailed graphics.  I have recommended the Epson line of printers,
but would appreciate information pertaining to the following 
questions:

1) Can you get friction-feed on the Epson FX-80 printer?
2) Has anyone had problems with heavy use of the MX-80 or FX-80 printers?
3) How slow is the best quality print on the MX-80 and FX-80?
4) How fast is the graphics mode on the MX and FX?

Thanks in advance --
