I'm thinking of getting a Stylewriter, and need some advice. I've got an abundance of Hammermill paper (for xerox and laser printer) and I'm wondering how AWFULL this will look. I'm not extrememly picky, and I could probably buy good paper for important work. But will this do for everyday use? Will it look like sh*t? E'mail would suffice. oh, and of course, thanks in advance. Robert Cook (rcook@ncsa.uiuc.edu)

On our xerox paper the ink also bleeds, which can give "veins" of several millimeters in length, coming out of especially larger areas of black (large bold letters, etc.). What I like about the Stylewriter is the "faster" mode, that prints in 180 dpi. It is great for making corrections, listings etc and because it uses less ink, it looks ok on xerox paper too. Furthermore, it's cheaper (ink cost). So I have a pile of cheap xerox paper in my sheet feeder for normal use and when I make a final version, I throw in some sheets of quality paper. -- Kees Huizing - Eindhoven Univ of Techn - Dept Math & Comp Sc - The Netherlands e-mail: wsinkees@win.tue.nl Phone: +31-40-474120 Fax: +31-40-436685
