Title: Printing file from a electronic typewriter?
Post by: uphillcastle on Wed, 25 May 2011, 11:52:19

Maybe its impossible, but anybody know of a place that offers that? Say you have a word file, or pdf and you want it printed out in that awesome typewriter font...is it even possible? I have looked for some old school electronic typewriters but i dont think they have the ability to print from a file?

Wouldn't it be simpler and easier just to print with the Courier font installed in just about every modern PC?

Yes it would be easier, but its for an art project of mine...i might just buy an old typewriter and type from scratch  :boom:
