Amstrad GmbH (our German subsiduary) were pretty insistent so they went out on their own and contacted '''Sharp''' and bought a job lot of printers from them that they rebadged as "'''Amstrad LD6000'''".		:Back in the mists of time Amstrad sold a successful range of 9 and 24 pin dot matrix printers.
