For myself, connection to the Commodore 'serial bus' is very important.
Adapters range from $80 to $180, depending on features.  This will
add to the cost of another printer.

I chose to use the 40 column thermal printer (Axiom - $100)
because it was cheep, plugs into the serial bus, and does graphics
in a reasonable fashion.  Matrix is 8x8.

By the way, the Commodore dot matrix (isn't that the 1525?)
will do graphics, but the technique could not be more incompatible
with the Commodore 64.  Why they did this i cannot even guess.
