    Hello, and IIRC there was a C-64 color printer that used 4 ballpoint

    It was marketed as "printer/plotter", which was true. From certain point
    of view :-)

    It was good for plotting line graphics and it had the ability to plot
    text, with a nice vector font...

    You can find the font about mid-page down there.

    But I would not recommend to use the plotter to colour-fill any sizeable
    paper area. Or "print" longer BASIC listings (as I myself tried back in
    the days :-)
