History

Another color ink jet printer in Apple’s StyleWriter line, the StyleWriter 2500 was modeled after a Canon Bubblejet printer.  It looked similar to the StyleWriter 2400, but boasted faster printing.

The LocalTalk or Ethernet options were available as networking upgrades.  Users could also purchase a PhotoGrade kit that used special inks, cartridge and paper.
