- Have you had a look at the Cannon bubble jet printers?
-
- They can handle the 360x360dpi that you are looking for, as they use bubbles of
- ink they will always be black, unlike ribbons which fade.
-
- I believe the price is around the 230 pounds mark, but I am pretty sure that it
- is under 300 pounds.
-
- The print quality is as good as laser printer output, except that the dots are
- a tiny bit bigger.
-
- Cannon also make custom drivers for the Amiga, so you will be able to get the
- best output from the printer.
-
- I hope that this helps..
