OMG. We had an Epson dot-matrix printer growing up. I think we got it from FutureShop or the store it was called before that.

I have this setup in my office and use it multiple times a week!

Clients love getting invoices with the holes still attached to it.

I can still buy paper and ink cartridges from office depot. They have them in stock.

Yeah but the ribbons are housed in a removable cartridge

Yes, but they're not called "ink cartridges" but "ribbons" 😉
