    Thread: How did you get your first Amiga?

    Cheap all in one printers definitely don't print to the quality of a better more expensive model. The cheap printers are also a false economy in my view as the print cartridges are very expensive. HP ones for example can end up costing over £40 for one set of black and colour carts. Too expensive in my view.

    I agree about laser printers. For the number of pages you can get from a single toner cartridge, the higher quality printouts and the speed of printing, they are a much better solution for general printing. You can even buy quite decent ones for £50 these days.

    I still don't think colour printouts from laser printers is still as good as a decent inkjet. The colour accuracy is not good with it often hard to get decent greens and blues. I still find my old Epson Photo EX A3 printer produces much better colour prints than any of the newer injets I've seen too. I'm not talking photos though. I'm taking about colour printing of text and vector graphics. For photos I just use our Espon photo printer.

    The printers we have at work are no usual desktop printers, but more professional ones like this one:

    Yeah, i thought they might be. I still don't think they produce colours very accurately. And I think the design industry thinks the same because all professional graphics printers still tend to be based on inkjet or dye-sublimation technology.

    You're lucky. The ones he sent me nearly ruined what little eyesight i have left!!!! They looked like something out of a medical textbook under unsightly and incurable diseases.

    I know that. Some pictures can burn themselves into your retina, so even when you close your eyes, you can see them, awful.
