Apple offers two customized printers that allow you to get hard copies of anything you create on the Lisa screen – from word processing with multiple typefaces to graphics with freeform shapes and shading. Although neither is a high-speed unit, Lisa’s software allows spooling of printer output so that you may continue to use the computer while a document is being printed. Results from both printers are visually stunning.
