The Color StyleWriter 6500 was a high-capacity color inkjet printer of the StyleWriter series from Apple Computer. It was announced and released on June 16, 1997, assuming the role previously filled by the Color StyleWriter Pro.[1]

Description

The Color StyleWriter 6500 could print at a speed of 8 pages-per-minute with a maximum resolution of 600-dpi in black only, or 4 pages-per-minute at 600x300-dpi in color with ColorSync support.[1][2] It is compatible with HP C6614A/51629A/51649A/C1816A (black/black/color/photo) DeskJet cartridges.[3]

Included fonts

TrueType fonts are included on disk.[1] Support for PostScript Type 1 fonts can be added by using Adobe Type Manager.[4]

Issues

An optional StyleWriter EtherTalk Adapter II was supposed to add Ethernet connectivity for faster networking. However, it does not appear to have shipped in August 1997 as expected.[1]
