Well here’s a thing! Kidpix has its own built-in ImageWriter colour capabilities. I thought I’d compare with MacPalette.
On the left is MacPalette. On the right is Kidpix.
I kind of like what Kidpix has done, but my goodness!

A more different scan with more different settings. Also, greyscale instead of one-bit B&W. #MARCHintosh #RetroComputing #ImageWriter

Maybe I really should offer BadScan™ as a service for March. That could be kind of amusing 😜

It messed up a few times, but I feel like that’s appropriate.

Hi! Where can I buy ribbons for my #ImageWriter II dot matrix printer in the EU?
-
Hey that looks better! I forgot I had to trim the Ethernet frames if they were less than 60 bytes long. It was including spurious null characters in the output causing it to add weird characters.
Next I'll try sending it to a real ImageWriter II and see if it prints correctly.

Remember, folks, dot matrix printers never clog! #ImageWriter

Well I wasn’t expecting this… you know the #ImageWriter self test that whizzes out the alphabet back and forth really fast?
If you not the print quality to be two lights instead of one, it goes a lot slower and the letters have more detail.
-
They're still the only way to print multi-part forms. Well, that and other impact printers like daisywheel and (haha) line printers.
I was blown away recently to learn that you can still buy new #ImageWriter I/II ribbons. 😄
Also, I remember the full-color demo printout on my OkiMate 10 being the very coolest thing I had seen up to that point.

Consulting the manual in order to turn the #ImageWriter II on.

Picked up this ImageWriter II locally for $50! Original owner, barely any scuffs, said it printed at most 100 pages in its life. Came with the manual! :apple_old_logo:
(Not yellowed either, said his mom had sewed a custom cover for it, which sadly he didn’t have anymore!)
It’s good to have one again!

Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9.4 Released with Various Changes
A new version of the Raspberry Pi Imager, a free, open source and cross-platform image writing utility (think Etcher, but much redder) is out with an array of modest improvements. Serving as the first release since last September, Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9.4 adds to the big UI changes the previous version brought with some quality-of-life adjustments. For instance, in the OS customisation settings there’s an Enable SSH tab. This now uses “regex to perform some light validation” of public keys to avoid boot failures, having previously just assumed any key entered was correct. Raspberry Pi Imager 9.4 includes an ‘Exclude :sys_more_orange:

There's an ImageWriter II on Goodwill that closes today, currently going for USD 15.- I'm not in the market, but that seems pretty inexpensive, even if it needs some work.

Ewwwwww….
I’m guessing replace these with rubber washers? Any recommended dimensions?

Oh man. I should be asleep, but now I’ve had an even *worse* #MARCHintosh idea instead. Combine the two terrible ideas so far…
You post me a photo or something to scan using the #ImageWriter with the ThunderScan installed instead of ink.
Then I print that file from the same ImageWriter onto iron-on transfer paper and to send back to you to make into fashion!

So… ummm… the first #GlobalTalk #ImageWriter colour high-fashion iron-on job seems to be happening… #MARCHintosh 🖨️ 🌈

New super-terrible #MARCHintosh idea just dropped…
I still have some of those iron-on sheets that go through the #ImageWriter. The ImageWriter is available on #GlobalTalk, complete with colour ribbon if desired.
You could make beautiful things to print out onto an iron-on transfer here, and then I could post that sheet back to you for you to apply to a garment to make it the highest of fashion statements 🖨️👕

I released my Apple II things again. This time there is no change in my programs, but the surl-server proxy can now pretend to be a dot-matrix printer, and print whatever your Apple II sends to it!

Raspberry Pi Imager Ported to Qt 6, Now Uses AppImages on Linux
You don’t need to own a Raspberry Pi to make use of the Raspberry Pi Imager as this nifty image writer makes flashing ISO, IMG, and similar files to USB drives and SD cards mighty easy. Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9 was released this week and it’s a big update. For one, this open-source and cross-platform image writer now uses Qt 6. This provides a stack of underlying improvements in terms of stability, but also some visual ones as Raspberry Pi say the Qt 6 port provides “a lightly refreshed UI throughout on all platforms.” Also of note, Raspberry Pi Imager :sys_more_orange:

Okay, now that the #ImageWriter is happily back on the network again, let’s try printing what it scanned yesterday!
First is the mono bitmap MacPaint file, dithering done by ThunderScan software.
Second is the greyscale image, dithering done by the MacPalette driver.

🚨 Jank Alert! New Video Drop 🫣
In my latest video, I try - and nearly fail - at testing out an #Apple #ImageWriter II printer from 1987.

With netatalk, a TashTalk hat, TashRouter, and CUPS on the Raspberry Pi, we can do clever things like share a #ImageWriter II printer over #LocalTalk with an iPhone using AirPrint!
This screenshot was printed from my phone to the ImageWriter II.
Interestingly, this was just fixed in the latest netatalk 2.3.2!
