Re: Inexpensive color printer experience
I've just bought a Epson Stylus 200 for $240 CAN (~ $180 US). It didn't try the
color mode with Linux YET but color-printing is fine (in W95 :-() even for
T-Shirt. (La)TeX documents look awsome (with -sUnidirectional option for
ghostcsript). Oh yeah ! the Debian (1.1) ghostcsript package has no support for
the Stylus, I have to build it from scratch :-(((( what a shame !
dvips generates really really good bitmap fonts so your (La)TeX documents look
close to laser-quality. Documents which use standard ps-fonts look bad
(ghostscript's fonts is far from good !). On Win95, the TT fonts don't look
very nice neither.
So if you use (La)TeX for some front-end (LyX) for your documents, they will
look really professional on this very cheap printer. Make sure you to add the
-sUnidirectional option to ghostscript. It makes printing twice slower but
your verticall lines are aligned !
