I believe Canon have a rather early model StarWriter that has ink tape in it and can use C cell batteries, later StarWriters such as the St*rWriter 85 which I have are full word processors with bubble jet printers and floopy disk drives, very advanced machines for 1992, they were quite expensive back then.

How long would you say the batteries last? Do Brother still make the thirmal ribbons for it? Do you have the AC Adaptor for the unit? I really like the idea of this unit, I would have liked something like this? back in 1993 if my family hadn’t bought the StarWriter 85.

I’m guessing it was probably made in Japan.

There were portable PC printers made in the early ’90s which used the same design. I have no idea if the ribbons are still made.? If they aren’t, you can always print onto thermal fax paper without needing a ribbon.

brother is still around, I took a computer aided design class and a computer assisted manufacturing class, and some of our? printers were made by brother.

I know reporters and Journalists would kill for a portable thing that can type and print at the same time, Laptops today still need to be hooked up to a printer to get the documents out into paper. Also the convenience of paper is that you get a hard copy instantly whereas flash drives can break and laptops can fail causing you to lose all your data in one go. Having paper prints is much harder to destroy and easier to preserve.
