[DM-MUG] Printing in a no-grid situation

[Sharalyn]

Ok, this sounds too technical and impractical...and probably too
expensive... for me to take this much further. But just so I understand,
what is a ³very large inverter² and what what is a ³true sin²? Is there a
plug and play version of what you are referring to or would it require a lot
of knowledge or money to make it work?

Finally, one last question. I have a back-up battery for my computer. Could
the printer work off that or is that the same as a car battery?

Thanks very much for your time,

Roses
