I use a Epson LQ590 dot matirx printer for my stencils and it works great. However I found that even on the lightest setting it sometimes blowes through the whitepaper kind of chews it up. So what I do is print on the yellow side and just reverse the image, this leaves the white tissue intact.

I hooked the Dotmatrix up to a computer that was running on Windows XP. This is an older model over 10 years old, and I did find some issues with compatibility at first but was resolved with some google searches + reading. The more model USB dot matrixes I expect to have much less issues with XP + Vista although they are much more expensive (~$150).

what type of computer do you hook the printer to. Is there a limitation to what type or is that why you get one with a 24 pin cord?
