Surprisingly fast, it was a pretty quick plotter, esp. in draft mode. Another 
person there had the very first inkjet printer HP made, a little desktop thing 
barely 10" wide, amazingly silent (this was when the Epson FX-80 was king: 
"BZZZzzzzrrrrrrp! chunka-chunka BZZZzzzzrrrrrrp! chunka-chunka" . This was 
about 1985-ish...I'd forgotten about the inkjet until just now.

That was a cool place to work; as their central R&D facility we worked with all 
their divisions: Jello Pops were invented in the lab next door.
