5282.0. "New Printer for $100-150 ???????" by TPSYS::CAIAZZI () Tue Dec 17 1991 22:37

    
    Hi Guys,
    
    Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a printer
    in the $100 - $150 range, preferably color and definately 
    reliable.
    
    A friend of mine wishes to get one for her husbands Amiga
    500 as a Christmas gift.
    
    Thanks for any info...

    You're going to have a hard time finding a reliable printer in that
    price range.  Because low-cost printers are very mechanical, a
    well-used printer is likely to be unreliable.  New printers sell for
    about $230, so only a used printer would fit your price.

5282.2Star Rainbow 9-pinSDOGUS::WILLIAMSTOPGUNFri Dec 20 1991 13:057
    Check out the Star Micronics Rainbow (similar to NX1000, color printer
    but 9pin, instead of 24pin).  It usually can be had for cheap.  Lasts a
    long time, inexpensive ribbons, etc!
    
    No connection with Star, just like their printers.

    I have one of the STar nx1020-rainbow printers.  It cost me $239.  I
    suppose one might find them for less, though.  It is a nice little
    color printer.
