Putting the Star Micronics NX-2420 color dot matrix printer through its paces. Nearly 30 years old and still going strong, at least with new old stock 4-color ink ribbon from Nu-Kote! Greetings hot dogs.

I got my first computer and printer back around the beginning of the 1990s. My very first printer was a Panasonic KX-P2123. It was a 24-pin dot matrix printer and IIRC, it could print at up to 360 × 360 dpi. With a new-to-decent ribbon, it would rival the print quality of a monochrome inkjet printer of that era. It didn't start noticeably banding the printouts until the ribbon was well worn out. Among other things, I used it to print 3½" × 1" tractor feed adhesive labels (we ran a small video rental business out of our garage) and homework assignments. According to the owner's manual, the KX-P2123 had a color upgrade kit which would allow it to print in color similarly to the NX-2420. I always wondered what it would be like to get the color kit for it and to print in color. Probably almost as slow as the NX-2420. In the stock, monochrome configuration, the KX-P2123 was reasonably fast (for the era), being able to print a letter sized sheet of text in about a minute in LQ mode, about 2½ minutes in SLQ mode. In draft mode, it could spit out a couple pages of text per minute. The KX-P2123 was also much quieter than most competitors' 24-pin impact dot matrix printers. Even today, using plain paper, this printer would still hold its own against modern inkjet printers for monochrome print quality, as far as the human eye can see. Using coated or photo paper, a modern inkjet would mop the floor with it. Plus, modern printers can do color! But, if you need multi-part carbon or carbon-less forms for your business, there are impact dot matrix printers like these which will do up to 360 dpi without missing a beat.

Man your videos are awesome! Great vibe and awesome content. I could actually smell this video, not just the coffee but also the hot dot matrix print head, really brings back some childhood memories. I think what's happening with the transfer paper is that the heat from the print head is melting the transfer film; that's how it gets transferred into the t-shirt when you iron it

Also I'd love if you started selling dot-matrix inspired t-shirt designs. That cool crab looks amazing!

I like the fact how the screen saver just does a tecno rave when you’re speeding up the printing

This was great, i remember my dad had that same printer and i remember it being so super loud. It's cool you transferred it to shirt that was like the icing on the cake in this video. Great stuff!

I had the same printer and monitor on my old 386SX 33MHz (overclocked to a blistering 40MHz) with 4MB RAM and a 650MB HD. This is some memories.

Your channel always gives me such flashbacks. My first PC (a 386 SX 33) had a Canon (I think it was...) color dot matrix printer and my whole family used that Print Shop Deluxe all the time! I would usually print QuickBASIC code listings in 'draft' mode to stretch the black ribbon. I also printed tons of text files like the Principia Discordia, the online fake version of the Anarchists Cookbook, etc... good memories.

Dude, I'm pretty sure that people would even pay to see the footage of the printing process in real time. (I wouldn't, I just would like to see a 40 minutes video of a printer printing. Even if I only use it for "white noise" while sleeping!) Anyway, keep the good job up, huge fan here in Brazil.

Ah, brings memories back! I had a Star LC24-10 connected to my Atari STE and I remember one late night when coding in GFA Basic and without thinking started a printout of the code because it’s easier to find errors on paper, and man that printer was loud! I had to cover it with a pillow to muffle it, and boy was it a long listing that took forever! I thought I must have woken up all neighbors in the house, but no one ever mentioned it, so maybe my “muffler” worked? Later I got an HP DeskJet and could print when ever I wanted. Another thing about that Star printer and the Atari: my then new girlfriend used it and Calamus to do her work application on one of our local newspapers, she got the job and she’s still working on the paper 30 years later. So I use to say it was that that made her to move to my town and me, letting us bring up two great kids and we still lives together! She still has a very colorful language when handling computers when they doesn’t do what the wants em to do! 🤣

Great you were able to show this off! Like I said on the other video, I have so many memories of tearing off the paper hole edges on continuous feed paper, only for me it was on printouts from the BBC Micro.
