Imagewrite II color ribbon

I got this for .60 at the thrift store. It was sealed and the ribbon is still wet. The receipt was tucked in the box. It was originally $4.79 on 11/20/1993

Cool

I love colour ImageWriters. My earliest computer memory is of printing off a sign on The Print Shop on an Apple II, using one of those printers. At one of my former workplaces they have kept one IIe and an ImageWriter, which they occasionally use to make long banners.

Oh, you gotta love those things!

My alma mater gave me like 30 ribbons, about half of which were color. That included a factory sealed box of six Apple ribbons. I used one of the ones (outside of the box) for an assignment and the teacher loved it!

I also used to use these things in tenth grade history to tick off my teacher. Not only would I leave the scraps on (he kept saying how primitive I was) but I'd also print the entire thing in pink, cyan, green, red, or blue. Never did yellow since that would probably give me a zero. The pink one really stunned him...especially because the paper was like four pages long and typed all in Venice.

Check out the ImageWriter Color Photoshop plugin, which comes from Adobe with Photoshop 3. As you'd guess, it lets you print continuious-tone images from Photoshop on the ImageBanger II with a color ribbon.

I woudln't say the pictures look good, but they're certainly a lot better than you'd expect.
