It seems that 24-pin printers have very good resolution (360x360 dpi),
even better than laserjets (300x300 dpi).

I have modest printing needs, i.e., I can tolerate down to a few pages
per minute, I wouldn't mind the noise,
as long as the printer gives me a real letter quality print and
high-resolution graphics.

What are the disadvantages of 24-pin dot-matrix printers?
I know the disadvantages of laserjets: expensive, bulky, power-consuming,
relatively more maintenance.

Do you have good/bad experiences with these 24-pin printers?
Do you recommend one?

Thanks for any followup.
