I use the okimate for printouts sometimes, using Xerox paper or pretty smooth fanfold. The print isn't great, but it beats the thermal printer I used to have. Compared to the 1525, it is very light print. I returned a 1525 once, after suffering through a sound slightly worse than a dentist drill. I just couldn't take it. The Oki is very quiet. The graphics mode is quite good, except for a one pixel white line every eight graphics lines. The color mode does burn up ribbon, but for my uses (generally less than a full screen) it comes out about the price of color Xeroxing. My favorite use for it is printing directly onto acetate for producing color overhead slides, which I use in presentations. It prints better on Acetate than it does on paper. B<
