re: HP PaintJet

I have borrowed one on several occasions, and am planning to buy my own
soon.  The driver is standard in 1.3  (and I expect also in 2.0).  At
180 dots per inch in X and Y, it makes a good match for the Amiga
resolution.  

Sorry, I can't help with suggestions of where to buy the ink an paper.
The guys at HPLabs did a lot of research into inks which give good
color and don't jam up the heads.  Try experimenting with different
kinds of paper.  The official PaintJet paper is coated so that the ink
dots will not bleed and give the sharpest image.  Other papers will
cause the ink to spread out.  Somethimes this is really a "nicer"
effect.
