Has anyone out there had any track record with the Okimate 20.  I just got
one and so far, I seem to regret my decision.

Here are the problems encountered so far.

	1.	Color printouts have the dark overlapping pixels (dots)
		which looks like someone took a good photo and ran it
		through a bread slicer then attempted to repaste it.

		The manual claims that there is a switch on the interface
		card that is set by the factory to do this so that a
		white line does not show. (Some how, I like the white line
		so that I can use my crayols to color in the slices!)

	2.	The printer head seems very fragial.  After only 10
		full page printouts in BW, I'm starting to loose rows
		and rows of dots.  After cleaning of the head, still
		no luck.

Am I being too critical, do I have a lemon, or is the Okimate a good limited
use cheap color printer?

I need so life history...
