Printers have come a long way since computers came into all our life. I remember the first printer I bought in 1990. It was a dot matrix type that makes a really sickening sound each time you are printing.
Since then, I have moved to injet and finally laser printer now. Not only that, the days of black ink printers are numbered as coloured printer is relatively getting cheaper and cheaper.
It would be interesting to know whether what sort of printer do each of us really like and why. Believe it or not, I still have friends who are so stucked to being loyal users of dot matrix printers still. How about each one of you? What's your choice?

i have an ALPS MD5000 and b4 that i had an ALPS MD1000. fantastic printers. they were discontinued cause there were so different that people did';t quite get it but amazing print quality and atonishingly flexible. photo qulity print on plain paper. metallic colours, white. such a shame you can't really get them anymore

I think I heard about that printer too. Yes, sorry that they discontinued the production of those. I did not use one but you must be pretty impressed about the print quality. What printer do you use now?


myLot reputation of 72/100. indium (1575)  6 years ago

i still use the MD5000. can still get the ink for cause so many other manufacturers used the technology. at last count there were 6 different manufacturers who had put out printers that used the same idea. all niche and rare ones but still.

Although I like to do my handwriting and correction on paper with an old fashioned fountain pen - the one you fill from and ink bottle - we use an inkjet colourprinter that also faxes, copies, scans. I am waiting for a printer that does the laundry and dishwashing as well ;-))

Oops, I forgot to mention that we use a HP 2200 series... Sorry about that.
And we looooove it!

I too like to have a printer that can do almost everything short of having a maid. Well, it probably will cost a bomb, too.
I like your idea of having a printer that faxes, copies and scans as well. It gives me the desire to own one like this too.

I like inkjet printers. I have a laser as well, but I hate how the paper comes out curled. And the color laser jets are still incredibly expensive. The black and white when we got it, was $2,000. The color aren't that much, but still they exceed the price of inkjets by quite a bit.

One thing I loved about my dot matrix printer that you cannot do on laser or inkjets, was making banners. You could just print off a continuous banner and hang it up (like for parties and stuff). On an inkjet, a lot of folding and taping paper is involved. I still have my dot matrix somewhere, but I don't have ink for it anymore.

I know some people still like Windows 3.1 though, so I bet some people out there still like their dot matrix printers, you can probably buy ink for them somewhere. A lot of offices still use those small dot matrix printers for making labels. Other than that, they seem to have lost their usefulness I guess. But I still say that they were very nice printers for banners.
