I weirdly enjoy the sound of dot matrix printers.

NEC PinWriter P2200 - Awesome Face
Jake Rayson@nina_kali_nina my new ringtone, thank you

Neat effect! You do FFT and map the frequency to the radius of the circle?
Also, I have nightmares about getting my junkpile-find dot matrix Epson to print legibly enough to turn in a school report the next morning...
@jannem I just print the line numbers to the existing page 
Chip@nina_kali_nina That’s a lot faster and smoother (and maybe a little quieter) than my ImageWriter II. :D
Thomas Guyot-Sionnest@nina_kali_nina Sounds like a pretty fast one, assuming that printing the ASCII art you just posted above. Mine was more like 1s to print a full line in both directions. 😅
I wasn't paying for supplies back then but I presume ribbon ink wasn't a rip-off, unlike today's inkjets 🙃
@dermoth this one has multiple quality settings, and it's roughly as fast as a slow inkjet on the lowest quality

Jernej Simončič �@nina_kali_nina Is that an Epson LX-400?
@jernej__s Correct. I was bored and Epson was the topmost box in the storage/lab room
@nina_kali_nina That was the first printer we had at home, around '91 or '92.
@jernej__s it is a very nice printer, almost never jams

You have tractor feed paper! In the UK!?

@saxicola yep! It was a total surprise to me; I just bought a random cheap "sold as is" dot matrix, and when the box arrived, it had a tractor feed and two packs of fan-fold paper. And a single pack of fan-fold paper costs more on eBay than the whole printer lot I got. Lucky!
@nina_kali_nina
I did find a company selling tractor paper.
About £70 fo box. Seemed a lot just to test an old new-in-box printer I'd bought.

@saxicola I think I've paid half that much for the whole setup and 200 fan-fold pages or so
