Back in school I did my homework on an Amiga 1200 and printed it out on a KX-P2123 (with the colour option installed). Friend had a Swift 240c but I hailed my Panasonic the best because it was a real boat anchor and for me printed brilliantly.

Fast forward to today and in all the buying and selling over the decades I find my Amiga printer to be the Citizen Swift 240c.

The swift might be slightly slower (this is from a twenty years memory) but it seems more user-friendly with its LCD display instead of the matrix of lights on the Panasonic.

What printer was the best? I think the Citizen was better marketed at the Amiga community but both were Colour 24 pin dot matrix printers which used Epson Q emulation.

Edit: Damn I missed out Pancakes.

@A1200

my only experience with Citizen printers was a 9pin Citizen ABC colour printer which was my first one, didn't think much to the printer ribbon running out very quickly

I later upgraded to a Canon BJC 250 which wasn`t bad actually and lasted me a good few years, so i'd say the Canon printers were better for the ones that were supported under the time of the A1200's heyday.
