Hey gang,

Color printers did make a nice Christmas present in 1984. The Okimate 10 was
affordable color printing, although it was a thermal printer and required good
paper for decent printouts. It was also slow at graphics printing.

Given the evidence of Okidata later coming out with an Okimate 20, I think
sales of these printers for Commodores were pretty good.

Also, Epson produced a dot-matrix impact printer with a COLOR ribbon, or
ribbons. I can't remember the technology design they used , perhaps it was a
ribbon that had 3 "stripes" of color on it, but I remember the advertising of it
and apparently it was compatible with software like Print Master. I saw this
advertised 1985/1986.
