In 1987 a 27-pin (as opposed to the earlier models' 9 pins) model called the ImageWriter LQ (stands for "Letter Quality") was introduced. The print quality was comparable to competing 24-pin dot-matrix printers, and offered graphics at 320 x 216 DPI. Unlike the ImageWriter II, the LQ was unreliable and noisy.
The ImageWriter II (as well as the LQ) could be networked on an AppleTalk network with the addition of a card. This, as well as guaranteed compatibility with both Apple II and Macintosh computers, made it a popular choice in schools.
