I remember programs that would custom-print a text file using multiple passes per line. Took forever, but you'd get slightly better results than with a cheap 9-pin printer like I had.

I was thinking today while walking my dog about printers for some reason - thinking that to this date, one line I won't cross is sending out an invoice printed on an inkjet. It's gotta be laser, IMO, otherwise is just looks small-time.
