  Finally got a dot matrix printer. Picking it up tonight. Pretty good price I think for second hand (Australian prices are pretty ridiculous for these printers). Any tips or hints on best ways to use them? I am getting a Lexmark 2491 – 100 A3/A4 printer. What do you recon?

  Glad to hear you are playing with Dot matrix – easy / cheap substitute for a thermal copier!
  Happy to hear how it works out for you – as far as making tattoo stencils goes!

  Yeah true! I also have a thermal copier too but it’s a really cheap one and doesn’t work the best. Just a cheap Chinese knock off I think. Haha

  A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth on the page.

  Basically works like a type writer with the primt head hitting the transfer paper on to the carbon paper hence they are used for duplicate invoices up to five pages.
  I have one and they do work well for stencils.
