The best decision of the last gew decades for me was to buy an Epson LQ 500 Dot Matrix printer. Granted, its noisy, but the print quality can rival that of a laser and the cartridges are CHEAP
- 2000UltraDeluxe 4y agoI've been considering getting a dot-matrix printer since I found a life-time's worth of paper in an old basement I was emptying. How's printing speed at max quality?
- mburee 4y agoI have another dot matrix printer, 24pin LQ. Wouldn't want it uf I had to print more than 5 pages a day because of the noise. A single page takes about 10-40 seconds depending on quality and content, the 'images' it can do really slow it down. But the cheap cartridges are all worth it.
- afandian 4y agoCould you share a sample of the output? The last dot matrix I saw was from the 1980s.
- RalfWausE 4y agoI would say this is a good example... even if the ribbon of this guy seems to be at the end of its lifespan: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FkJkSw-REkI https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FkJkSw-REkI
