Subject: Good Letter Quality Printers

I am looking for a good letter quality printer that is fast and cheap.  I 
have a kaypro 4 at home which I only use for writing letters, and some larger
documents (up to 20 pages max).  I have an old Olivetti dry inkjet printer
(no longer in production - which I bought from DAK Industries) which is 
producing worse and worse copies day by day.  It does serve though for draft
copies, especially when you are used to it.  I am currently looking for
something that will provide me service for professional correspondence.  My
brother has a C. Itoh F-10 Starwriter (which he bought for $1K 4 years ago).
It is built like a tank.  He has had no service call on it in 4 years, and
it moves right along at 40 cps.  It is also no longer produced, and I don't
have $1K.  The local computer discount house has a Panasonic daisywheel
which is 18 cps and lacks the bulletproof features of the C. Itoh, but it
is still in production, and we would be able to obtain service through 
Roslin Electronics.  I would appreciate comments on daisywheel printers, as
when I write company presidents and other important people, I want good
quality print.

I have also seen ads for an NEC 24-pin printer, under $500.  Does anyone know 
if these have a very good NLQ mode.  They have a nice feature (according to
ads) of being able to slip in a single sheet or and envelope, without removing
the tractor feed paper.  Are they durable/reliable?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

                                            May God Bless You, in Jesus Name
