I attended the HP computer seminar at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Philadelphia
yesterday and I feel compelled to reply to the letter posted last week about
the Think-Jet printer.  The letter stated that the printer could only print
the standard letter size ( I think 72 columns?) well after seeing a demon-
stration of the printer I must say I was truly impressed.  Not only was the
type letter quality but the printer has the capability to print a total of
142 columns which is more than the line printer on the HP-3000 where I work.

Now I must admit that when printing a 142 column report ( a Visi-Calc spread
sheet ? ) it is not the largest print in the world, but it is readable.  The
way this printer accomplishes this is by using condensed print for more columns
or you can use large print for less columns.  I think the total range of columns goes from 40 to 142.

Another feature of the printer that impressed me was that since the printer 
uses a jet, you can design your own letterhead for your company if you have
a graphics package therefore you can buy plain white paper for your letters
instead of special ordering paper with your own letterhead.  The only draw-
back is that I have been told that there will be a short wait for availibility,
possibly 6-10 weeks of the printers.

Well I already have my order in!!!

                      A friendly note,
