A look at the Retro Printer on The Amiga Show

[Silverstreak]

Hi,

I put together a monthly show on Youtube called The Amiga Show. Anyway, I though you might enjoy the first part as it features a short review of the Retro Printer, which I love.

Great to see it working well on the Amiga — this is the next micro for me to try.

Just out of interest, what Epson ‘Colour’ printer is the best one to go for on the Printer prefs?

I’ve only tried black and white on my Beeb and Electron so far.

A great little review of the Retro-Printer - thank you.

The choice of Epson printer driver will presumably depend on which Epson bitmap graphics mode they use and whether they were designed for use with the later delta row or TIFF printing modes introduced for 720dpi on the inkjet printers. We support all of the modes except for 1440 and 2880 dpi modes (never did find out how these worked!).

Some of the low resolution print modes start at 90dpi, but most early printer drivers seemed to be based on 180dpi

Great little review - could you allow my comment on the Youtube video page please...

Of course, I hadn't realized it had been held up for my review!

Quite a number of Amiga titles used their own printer manager to achieve better output, so it's going to be a fun journey!

I'm currently using EpsonQ, which came with workbench 3.1. I've seen online there are later drivers, so I'll have a look at those at some point.
