good scanning on a printer

[curious aardvark]

Hmm, i can see it would be useful for copying keys, though how useful a plastic key would be I'm not sure.

It's sort of like the original scanner i had 25 years ago (possibly longer) for my amstrad pcw. You attached a little scanner to the dot matrix head of the printer and it scanned pictures line by line.
This is a slightly updated version of that.

If it could be configured to produce a solid rather than a hollowed out shape, could be quite useful - I assume it's cheap :-)
Anything more than $100 and you can forget it :-)

haha. It would be useful for robbers, if they can get acees to one's keys. scan them and put back, so no one notice. Print a plastic key, won't last long but should ne enough to open the door, steal what you need, and cllose it back, maybe with second printed key.

It's free, any printer can do it, though results will vary based on how well the printer is made/calibrated.
