- I use my StyleWriter for presentations occasionally. It does a very good
- job with Canvas output if you use *good* paper which is designed for an
- inkjet. Standard copier paper will bleed too badly and will ruin the
- clarity. Speed is livable, but I don't know how many ppm.

- Apple is releasing the StyleWriter II (probably at MacWorld next week).
- It's much faster, cheaper and will offer 16(?) shades of gray. It's also
- supposed to be shareable on LocalTalk.
-
- I've seen printouts and it looked very nice.
