If this is so, why did Migraph do all of their original demo printouts
on a Star SG-10?  Because, in their humble opinions (as the producers
of one of the best ST applications to date, EasyDraw), the SG-10
produced better output than the Espon FX-80.  And cost less, too.  Now
you can buy the NX-10 from Midwest Micro for about $165.  I think this
printer would fit the original posters' bill pretty well.  If you can
afford it, the ND-15 (24-pin) is even better.

Epson printers are rather like IBM computers - they think they're the
best, so they make their prices higher, even when many other companies
offer more REAL performance at a significantly lower price.  You do
own an Atari ST, don't you Mr. Cisek?
