Okimate 10 for Atari with All Original Packaging on eBay

[Continuum]

It pains me to let this go, but it should be in the hands of an active Atari collector.

That's an excellent price, and it pains me to have to pass on it, too. Those printers have a changeable interface card for different machines-- I had one once for a Commodore, and the card slid right out. Wish I could

My 1st issue of ANTIC magazine I ever bought (Mar 85) reviewed this & another printer. Awesome off-the-shelf look, seems brand new. Good luck w/ the auction!

I still have my printer. I only have the box for the Atari interface. The thing about this printer is you need really smooth paper. I had many bad prints because paper was not smooth enough. I think I still have some color and black ink left from when I stopped using it.

It certainly brings back memories, seeing that printer. I had one, back in the day. I remember they released an Okimate 20 which was used with the 16-bit machines, too.

The Oki 10 was ground breaking - having a color printer for that price was unheard of - it wasnt fast but good enough. The big problem was the ribbons - I dont know what the cost per page was back then but the color ribbon didnt last long at all! The black was ok but as noted above you need the 'right' paper.

 

The printhead looked like a small popsicle stick IIRC. Anyhow I really enjoyed my Okimate 10 (prob still have it packed away somewhere), however I quickly moved towards an Epson-80 compat dot matrix printer due to cost and speed reasons
