I don't remember dot matrix printers ever having many problems.
- jeffbee 3y agoOther than being unbelievably slow and of extremely low quality, sure. It so bad and slow that you really have to consider it a different class of product. Additionally, any ink ribbon printer (or typewriter) will suffer from dry ribbons in occasional service. Really there's nothing wrong with laser printers. If you want a trouble-free model you need to spend maybe $50 more than the absolute lowest price you can find. If you think about what they do, it's sort of incredible.
- lostlogin 3y agoThe words ‘dot matrix’ give a very intense memory of the sound.
- notbeuller 3y agoI still see dot matrix printers around, usually in auto workshops where they’re printing through multi-ply copy paper and covered with decades of grease.
