That Alps printer was a heckuva neat piece of work. I've never seen output from one but I read a bit about 'em, and apparently they were pretty handy for printing stuff like transparencies (if you wanted a white background on something or white text on dark backgrounds) and iron-on transfers. They were thermal wax-transfer printers, IIRC, so they didn't have a lot of the problems inkjets do (smearing, water solubility, etc.). p _____________________________________________________ the pickle The FAQ <http://macfaq.binhost.com/> The Archive <http://www.jmug.org/software/thepickle/> _____________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
