Ooh! Ouch! The memories!

I had a daisy-wheel printer for my (get this) Radio Shack/Tandy TRS-80
computers when I was a little kid (models I - V, Model 1000, CoCo)! I have
to admit that that printer was probably what got me into design in the forst
place-man was that text sharp!

OK, OK...I give up...yes, tecnically ALL inkjets and lasers ARE dot
matrix...but you know what I meant! X-P

BTW, if you really DID print the design on a dot matrix printer, I would
LOVE to see how it came out!

He probably did. I don't know that there are very many printers at all
today which aren't dot matrix printers. My HP 660Cse certainly is. My TI
Microlaser certainly was. Of course not very many people today use
printers which put the dots on the paper using the same techniques as an
Epson MX-80. The only non-dot matrix printer I ever owned was an HP
plotter. Anyone still running any daisy wheel printers? How about
mainframe style chain printers (back in the days when a real printer
required re-inforced flooring and ear protection for the operators)?
