[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Which Is Better: Hp Deskwriter,

Just (about six weeks ago) bought a DeskWriter.  Considered the DeskJet, but 
the interfacing problem didn't look like an easy one, although there are 
several third party software packages available.  I ended up using Adobe Type 
Manager for 99% of my printing, and the results (in Best mode) are almost 
worth bragging about.  The darn thing does Quickdraw images
great, including halftones out of Pagemaker.  I have Freedom of Press, but 
have yet to use it because most of my work does not come out in PostScript 
format.  DeskWriter carts. are refillable, check out the article in the DTP 
forum.  I use a LaserWriter NT at work, and the output is a little crisper 
and darker, but for the money, you can't beat the DeskWriter for ease of 
installation and use.  By the way, it does business size envelopes easily and 
well.  I'd be happy to answer any more questions, just ask via this BBS.
