I'm looking for a good printer, and have somewhere less than $600 to spend.
Here's my minimal needs :
- excellent black and white for desk top publishing
- decent color for pictures in documents
- speed, sometime today is fine
- can feed envelopes
- a decent Amiga printer driver
What technologies are the best?
Laser - $$$, and forget color.
Jet - black and white is a little smeary, lower res, and the jets get
clogged.
24 Pin - the pins can be noticable, colors not sharp, or deep.
any suggestions/recommendations are much appreciated.
thanks,

The PaintJet II is available, so you may be able to get the original PaintJet for around $600 - I haven't checked recently. One drawback for my PaintJet: it is strongly recommended that you use the (more expensive) clay-coated paper. -- --- Regards ----------- Jim Kummer ---- ________________________________________- see disclaimer above -_______ (1st choice) jkummer@nyx.cs.du.edu \// insert favorite humorous (in a pinch) kummer@pogo.den.mmc.com // quote here <--
