- I'd have to second that. Not only is the price very good for the NeXT LW
- but at 400 dpi and pretty good speed it's also superior in quality to
- virtually anything else you'd look at. Maybe high DPI is not important to
- you now, but what about down the line? Is it worth it to save a few $ now
- when maybe in a couple of years you own something which is inadequate for
- your needs?
-
- the one disadvantage to the NeXT printer, obviously, is that it's a "dumb"
- printer which has to be used off a NeXT, but since you already have the
- NeXT. . . . .
