they work just fine for printing large amounts of data, we still use them to print from our 400.

They use ink ribbons which last years and can be refreshed by just dripping ink on the spool.

They're pretty cool

>>59784865
Do they even make modern ones or is it strictly a thing of the past/highly niche market product that costs billions?

>>59784865

They are clearly superior to modern technology. Just like CRTs and HDDs.

I know you're being facetious, but in a way you're right. If all you want to do is print text, they're by far the cheapest option, and they're indestructible.

They do, but they're massively expensive despite being simple and old technology. You could buy an old one for cheap and get almost literally the same machine.

Incredibly reliable and not over engineered garbage.
