I used a line printer on a Honeywell 516 which was a drum printer, but 
because it was little used, it was in perfect alignment, with better print 
quality than the heavily-used 1403s of the campus mainframe.

In general, of course, slight horizontal errors are less obtrusive 
than slight vertical ones, and that works to the advantage of chain and 
train printers, but also to bar and band printers, over drum printers.
