Good grief, what's happening to my text layout!
Anyway let me guess, you bought the 30 USD Lexmark!
:-D
That thing was lighter than the notes you pay for it and would screw
the paper up when it was feeding.
Epson are a fantastic brand although I find them a bit noisier than
the rest.
I had a Canon BJC600 before and liked the individual cartridges, build
quality but didn't have Turboprint at the time to fully appreciate
print quality.
Right now I have an Epson Stylus Color 740 and it's pretty good. As
I've written in another thread about Turboprint 7.x it doesn't put the
Epsons into Microweave properly so 720dpi is the maximum. Nowadays
with the 1440dpi and 2880dpi us Amiga owners are losing out.
For lasers TP7 seems to support the HP Color Laserjet 5 and the
Laserjet 3 which are nice.
I still don't know how to print with a Postscript output though. What
program can load and print Postscript files? Where is the Postscript
device supposed to go, DEVS:Printers or DEVS:DosDrivers?
I ask this as it's a port and not a printer right?
Anyway, the best settings I have for Epson inks and TurboPrint 7
required you to alter Contrast=110%, Gamma=120% and
Settings->ColourGamma->Yellow=110%.
That gives the best tones available and don't know why this isn't
default or mentioned elsewhere. TurboPrint has never used Microweave
and so you get heavy black dots without lightening the gamma and
putting a dampener on that ever dazzling yellow!
:-D
Did anyone ever try a Citizen Printiva? They were solid thermal
printers that took blocks of wax. You could print in metallic gold and
even print white on black paper!
Hope Erseesoft sort out the Epson drivers soon as the difference
between Epson on Amiga@720dpi and Epson on PC@2880dpi is quite
embarassing!
