What is the 'official' A500+ printer?
« on: September 02, 2009, 12:57:24 PM »
If when I went to buy my A500+ I also wanted to buy a printer then what would have commodore dealer sold me?

I tried to find a page with all commodore printers and date released but could not find one :(

Regards,
Simon J.

Well my main concern is if buying a dot-matrix printer or an inkjet. What scares me is if cartriges will be available and their potential life time. About the latter, I know several dot-matrix printers are still used today!

and how hard would it be to find ink for such a printer. From what I understand that is an InkJet printer not a dot-matrix right!?

I actually am more into a commodore printer for my A500! I know that there where at least two - one which is dot-matrix and another which is inkjet. What I am afraid is if the inkjet printer could get dammaged easier then a dot-matrix printer and how easy it is to find ink for both of them. Fact is that I might not really use this printer a lot either.
