paulrickards<p>In April 2018 I was having fun with the Okimate 20 thermal printer with my Commodore 64. It’s a fun printer that can use thermal fax paper so you don’t need a ribbon so you can print black as long as you have paper.</p><p>This is a PETSCII houndstooth pattern I came up with. BASIC source in the photos. I really like the built-in serif text font.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ThermalPrinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThermalPrinter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PETSCII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PETSCII</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PETSCIIArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PETSCIIArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Okimate20" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Okimate20</span></a></p>
