Wait a sec. There's no ribbon subscription plan? And they sell you high-yield ribbons (lasting many millions of characters) for $6 a piece?
The printer even has USB, looks better on your desk than the average bulky MFP, and consumes ~ 1W on standby. Plus, not having toner particles in the air might be better for your health.
If only the print quality and noise level weren't abysmal by today's standards, this could easily have been my next printer.
Unfortunately it seems they have discontinued all their smaller models than this... Likely because nobody is buying them. I haven't seen a dot Matrix printer in person for over a decade.
On the other hand their smaller units are still in support till 2027
Well, I always read reviews by ignoring all 1-star reviews first. Most 1-star reviews are made by disgruntled customers to grab customer service attention, a practice I detest. For example, one of the 1-star reviews says that a printer does not work on Win10 and thus is a garbage that was returned. Yeah, about that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV9lemggOuw sure it works on Win10
I'm seeing that the team that owns this customer experience doesn't ensure they get enough positive reviews to break out of the noise (or fix the UX that makes installing this printer on Windows 10 difficult). Either way, it tells me this company doesn't make an effort.
