The StyleWriter was Apple's line of inkjet serial printers, targeted mainly towards consumers. They produced print quality that was better than the dot matrix ImageWriters, and were cheaper than the LaserWriters. All but a few models contained Canon print engines, while the last few were re-badged HP DeskJet printers.

StyleWriters

The StyleWriter was the first of Apple's line of inkjet serial printers, targeted mainly towards consumers. The feed mechanism was removable, and paper could be fed through manually in a virtually straight line.

The StyleWriter II replaced the original. This model, based on a Canon engine, had twice the memory as its predecessor and double the printing speed.

The StyleWriter 1200 was the third of Apple's line of inkjet serial printers, released after the StyleWriter II. Based on the same Canon engine, this model had faster printing speed than its predecessor, but used the same ink cartridge.

The Portable StyleWriter was a portable inkjet printer manufactured in 1993 and was designed to match the PowerBook 100 Series portable computer. Unlike most Apple printers, the Portable StyleWriter came only with a Parallel port, but was sold with a cable adapter allowing connection to a Macintosh serial port.

Color StyleWriters

The Color StyleWriter 2400 is a color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1994. Its initial Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price was $399. The Color StyleWriter 2400 is notable for its compatibility with the Apple Pippin console gaming system.

The Color StyleWriter 2200 was the second color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1995. The codename for this model was "Calamari." The 2200 was aimed at mobile professionals, as it only weighed 3.1lbs and matched the PowerBook series at the time of the release. This was the second and last printer Apple made in a dark grey/black case. The 2200 was smaller and more rounded, matching the PowerBook 1400 and 5300 Series.

The Color StyleWriter 1500 was an entry-level Canon-engine color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1996.

The Color StyleWriter 2500 was a performance color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1996. It was based on a Canon-developed Bubble Jet printer, but was repackaged with a new housing, firmware, and Apple's proprietary 8-pin mini-DIN serial port. The printer is similar in appearance and functionality to the StyleWriter 2400, but featured faster printing speeds: 5 PPM black, 0.66 color, vs the 2400's 3 PPM black, 0.3 color. As with the 2400, the 2500 was compatible with the Apple Pippin console gaming system. Apple offered LocalTalk and EtherTalk networking upgrades in the form of external print server devices. Also offered was a "PhotoGrade" kit, which included a special monobloc (heads and ink in one unit) cartridge with lighter photo-oriented inks and coated paper.

The Color StyleWriter 4100 was a color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1997. This is one of three models that were rebadged DeskJets.[1]

The Color StyleWriter 6500 was a color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1997. This is one of three models that were rebadged DeskJets. [3]

The Color StyleWriter Pro was a color inkjet printer manufactured and sold by Apple in 1994. It was based on the Canon BJC-600 series of Bubble Jet printers, with which it shares ink cartridge compatibility. Its distinguishing feature among Color StyleWriter printers is its use of separate ink cartridges for each of three colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) plus black. In contrast, other Color StyleWriters used a combined color cartridge plus a black cartridge.
