to BILL MATTSON re: R/HP DESKJET 500 INKJET PRINTE
|
|
|
|
Surprising limitations of the Deskjet 500 and 500C? Nothing obvious!
|
|
I am so pleased with my DJ that I upgraded it to a 500, then when the
|
|
500C came out, I bought one! (upgrading gives you a 90 day warranty unless
|
|
there's old warranty left on your to-be-upgraded printer, while buying new
|
|
gives you 3 years!
|
|
The speed is limiting of course - 2 PPM or more in text mode - while it
|
|
might take - well, probably CPU-bound doing fancy color stuff, but perhaps
|
|
4 minutes per page.
|
|
The overheads are expensive since they must have a water soluble surface-
|
|
about $1 each.
|
|
The 500C is basically an electronics-only update of the 500, with an added
|
|
mechanism for detecting the (3-) color cartridge. It uses "chemistry magic"
|
|
to combine the 3 colors to produce a darn good black. The only problem
|
|
I've really seen is "gray" is more of a dark green.
|
|
The 500C can be used with a black cartridge just like a 500 - the printer
|
|
detects which cartridge, and won't print "ordinary" things with color in it,
|
|
and won't print color with the black cartridge in it. It "centers" the
|
|
cartridge and blinks a "change cartridge" LED.
|
|
What does it emulate? N-O-T-H-I-N-G. The DJ is so widely accepted they
|
|
don't even SUPPORT the Epson or Proprinter cartridges in the 500C.
|
|
HP PCL is the language used by LaserJets. Some examples of what is used
|
|
are things like (where $ is an esc):
|
|
6 point Courier @ 20 CPI= $&l0O$(10U$(s3t0B$(s0p06v20h0S$&l12D
|
|
DJ 500 12 point CG Times= $&l0O$(10U$(s4101t0B$(s1p12v12h0S$&l6D
|
|
BOLD=$(s3B
|
|
normal (Not Bold)=$(s0B
|
|
That is not meaningful - if I typed what "Postscript is" if you'd not
|
|
seen it before, you'd say "Wow!" - but what matters is drivers - nearly
|
|
every appropriate modern product has it, and the Windows 3 driver is
|
|
simply STUNNING (while bringing a 486 to its knees in highest quality mode)
|

to BILL MATTSON re: R/HP DESKJET 500 INKJET PRINTE
|
|
|
|
The ONE thing I wish were easier, is having multiple cartridges - I
|
|
liked re-inking one to BLUE - but there was no effective way to keep one
|
|
cartridge from drying out while the other was in use.
|
|
The DJ500C solved that by having a 2/3-size of a "recipe box" sized
|
|
box with lid, that has holes for 1 black and 1 color cartridge, with the
|
|
appropriate rubber thingie in the bottom to seal the jets. (It doesn't
|
|
ACTUALLY "seal" the jets but rather kind of "puts them in a tiny house"
|
|
where they aren't touching anything, but where there's only a miniscule
|
|
amount of air to draw moisture out of the ink. I've had no problems
|
|
in a couple weeks, but the REAL test will be if it is unused for a month
|
|
or more).
|
|
One SMALL surprise was "banding" when printing a VERY complex color print
|
|
out of Corel draw. Turns out that is documented: print to disk, THEN copy
|
|
the file to the printer. Turns out the "chemistry" doesn't work if say the
|
|
magenta dries before the yellow mixes with it to produce red. By printing
|
|
to disk, the printing occurs fast enough (not CPU bound) that the ink colors
|
|
mix "wet" and the resultant "identical data stream" output was PERFECT.
|
|
I've found only one teeny bug in the driver - when printing say a box
|
|
with a light grey error-distributed dither scatter, it leaves a small white
|
|
band near the top of the box. Error distributed dithers are the best kind,
|
|
because they avoid regular patterns common with most dithering techniques.

In reference to the companies listed in #45298, Technical parts has a clea
|
|
clean room, and and tetst the internal amplifiers inside of the drive
|
|
mechanism. They do not ( or did not) do data recovery. I also have used
|
|
Barry Workman & Assoc. They have a 3 tier price schedule which works
|
|
out very good if you have a little extra time.

WHile I am sure one of these days the following will not be true, to-date,
|
|
I have never removed a dead seagte drive from any of my computers, or
|
|
that of any client. While performance varies with price and size,
|
|
they are good drives.

I'd upload it there, but I'm calling from upstate NY, a bit (so to
|
|
speak) at a time. You have the right internet address
|
|
-- WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. It's an old DEC computer at the
|
|
White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) that somehow got to be an archive
|
|
site for just about EVERYTHING. I've been using it for years, now;
|
|
it still has the best archive of CP/M related materials I've ever
|
|
seen, and it does very well on the DOS side, too. And, if you have
|
|
access to the internet, it's free.

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: INKJETS
|
|
|
|
Ward, thanks for the responses. I'll take a little off-line time
|
|
to digest it all. I did go to Elektek and get a demo of both printers.
|
|
Still a little concerned about fonts, and such. I've never done any
|
|
desktop publishing, and don't have any of the state-of-the-art word
|
|
processors, although I do have Windows 3.0. The sales person at
|
|
Elektek seemed to be saying that one would need more than just the
|
|
printer to do all the fancy stuff the demo pages are showing.

|
|
<Pardon me for answering your comment directed to A.Z....>
|
|
Ward stopped keeping the list here several years ago, since it was
|
|
taking way too much time to massage it into a format he could tolerate.
|
|
You can call the keepers of said list, Stillwaters BBS, at 708-403-2826
|
|
(it's a "donation" baord, but they don't holler if all you want is to
|
|
snatch the list).
|
|
Or, call Randy's unix system at 312-283-0559. If you do that, the
|
|
file you want is /usr/public/bbslists/cbbsnnnn.nam - where 'nnnn' is
|
|
the month/year of the list. (If you don't "do unix", don't bother, you'll
|
|
be hopelessly confused...)

Good question! I would have assumed it would be in the DOCs. I personally do

not use EMACS (been a BRIEF user for 6 or 7 years), but I know Marty Dippel

uses it. Try leaving him a message.

365 days/year, 24 hours/day...I've never had the slightest <knocking on
