- Q1. Who really makes them?
-
- Olivetti. The DECjet 1000 is Olivetti's JP150.
- The DECjet 2000 is Olivetti's JP360.
-
- Q2. How do they compare to a DESKjet 500?
-
- H-P does not have a product that competes against the DECjet 1000.
- The DESKjet 500 is better positioned against the DECjet 2000.
-
- BTW the DECjet was part of a PC Magazie (August edition) review
- of portable printers. We're quite pleased with our showing in
- this review.
