Prints only +- 300-400 pages / cartridge (so stock some)
Rotates text multiples of 90 degrees only
Doesn't have many fonts available
Doesn't feature waterproof ink
Can't be connected to a PC
Prints only 1 page per minute
Doesn't feature Postscript
Is incompatible with some programs (Illustrator '88, MicrophoneII)
Costs +- $ 1450,- in Holland!!!
BUT
Is quiet
Offers (almost) Laserprinter quality
Works fine with PageMaker 3.0, Word 4.0, MacdrawII, Excel
Works GREAT with WingZ (3D graphs!)
Costs $ 800,- in the US
Promises color (Pagemaker 3.0) (only black ink now available)
Offers a change to see what non-Postscript printers
   are going to do under System 7.0
(smart companies build a Quickdraw typesetter!)
Prints enveloppes
Occupies little desk-space
Is very easy to install and operate
Seems very reliable
AND
I recomend it!
