I have a Deskwriter and Adobe Type Manager (1.01).  I get very good text
output from it using either the printer fonts or ATM fonts. The kind of 
paper you use makes a big difference.  I use Eton Techniclear when I want
something to look really nice.

I am considering getting Ultrascript or Freedom of the Press which, I 
believe, will let me do postscript graphics on the Deskwriter.
I think either package would take the place of ATM as far as printing
is concerned. I don't think they affect the screen appearence. 

So far, I'm not getting much benefit from ATM because I tend to use the
printer fonts. I am also thinking about purchasing the additional 
Deskwriter fonts but that may be a waste of money if I get one of the
packages mentioned above.
