I want to buy a color printer for my Amiga 1000 (Parallel interface).
Originally, everyone who had a color printer seemed to have either the
Okimate (?) ribbon-wasting thermal printer, or the Canon PJ-1080A inkjet.
I don't want the Okimate because of the ribbon-wasting, and I can't find
a dealer that carries the PJ-1080A.  I called Canon, they put me in
touch with a distributor who will sell me the PJ-1080A.  The thing lists
for $699, their price is $528 (or $480 if I am a dealer, which I'm not).
Even DAK's version of the PJ-1080A (the Quadram QuadJet) is $500.
But I remember the price quotes from a year back as being MUCH lower!

Does anyone have a handle on a lower price (about $300) for the PJ-1080A?
Any experiences with Color dot-matrix printers?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

If your reply steers me to the printer I end up purchasing, I'll digitize
(Digi-View) and print up six images of your choosing (and supplying!).

Thanks,
