I had the chance to see this printer in action at the CES here
in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.  It is really impressive in
that the colors are very vivid.  They accomplish this by using
Thermal Transfer Dot Matrix process.  I didn't spend a lot of
time checking it out but it looks like they use several different
ribbons (four maybe) that are the type that you can only use
once.  I don't know how expensive they are to replace.  The
unit uses regular paper (smooth paper works best) and weights
7 pounds, so it is very portable.  the Plug 'n Print package
comes with a screen dump software program on disk so you can
copy a screen but it isn't needed for text copy.  All in all,
it looks like a nice printer but it could be rather expensive
to operate if you planned to do a lot of printing.
