- I have had a BJ-130e at home for a year, and my wife and I both love it,
- especially since upgrading the driver from FF696. Wolf, thanks! Bought it
- as a demo just before the bj300-330 series started shipping.

- Suggestion: try your favorite output on a demo machine, to see speed and
- quality. If none are available amiga-connected, use CMD to save your
- PRT: output, and MSH/MultiDOS/CrossDOS to move the savefile to an I*M-PC
- formatted disk, go to your demo dealer, and copy your file to the printer
- port. Or, get your dealer to bring it to your site for a short test 8-).
- (This presumes that your dealer *at least* has the printer connected to
- a PClone!)
