I am debating about buying either a TI-Microlaser (probably the
17, possibly the 35) or the Apple Personal Laswerwriter LS. Since I
get student rates, the TI is actually more expensive, but it does have
postscript.
My questions about the TI are as follows. First, does it do
background printing ? How is the speed, it says 6ppm, but does it
really put out that fast (the LS beats an old Laser Plus by a large
amount) ? Does it work with the new TrueType font technology ? How
realiable is it ? Are 3rd party ink cartridges available ? Is the 35
that much better than the 17 (i.e worth around $1000 more) ? How
reliable is it ?
If you had to make a similar choice, what would you choose ? (The
TI will cost about $5-700 more than the LS, less than Freedom of The
Press). It would be run from a IIci 80/8.
thanks for your time
