I have an okimate 20.

And through my experiences, I have found that there are about 3 different
qualities of okimate 20's in the world.  There are good ones (like mine),
that print an image that alteast looks OK.  There are bad ones (like my
friends), that prints really horrid images, and there are terrible ones,
that sound like the drive train is filled with sand, and the printing
is really something terrible.
 
The colour ribbon is made up of 3 strips of waxy junk. Cyan, Magenta and
Yellow.  If you want to place one pixel of yellow on a line, you have to
go and waste about 3 feet of ribbon.  You can't get around it.
One 3 foot strip prints one line.
 
Overall, the output sucks bad, but for under a hundred, it's ok.
 
I'll sell you one for 75 (mine).  It's complete.  And only printed about
500 pages of stuff, and gone through 1.5 colour ribbons.
 
Includes cable for A1000 if you want it.  Reply if you like.
