Could anybody make an elaborate comparison between the Stylewriter
and the Deskwriter ? If printing speed and price were the same,
which machine would you prefer and why ?
Does the stylewriter use 'normal' photocopy paper ?
Some people said the stylewriter makes horizontal 'bands', like a
matrixprinter does when printing large black areas. Is this bad ? I'm
pretty sure the deskwriter doesn't do this, so I guess deskwriter output
must be better ?
Another person mentioned that the paper guides on the sheet feeder were
fixed. Does this mean we in Europe can't use din A4 paper ?

ANY personal experiences would be greatly valued.
