Blazing printers: beyond eight pages per minute

Article Abstract:

Companies are becoming more reliant on desktop publishing applications to create their in-house publications, thus high-volume printers are perceived as an important investment. For publications requiring high-volume printing and immediate turnaround, the high-volume printer is a must whether it is mainframe computer- or minicomputer-based. Four case studies demonstrate the popularity of these printers: Kodak's 1392 high-speed printer system is used by General Electric Power Systems to generate 20,000 pages per week; an Adobe PostScript interpreter connected to an IBM mainframe is used to print research documents at Unical Science and Technology Division; an Advanced Technologies' LC-6050 laser printer is used by the aerospace publishing firm, Forecast International, to print monthly updates of their company manual; and, Professional Decision Making Inc uses the PostScript-compatible Printware 720 IQ to generate a monthly average of 20,000 camera-ready pages.

Better halftones on the rise

Article Abstract:

Printers incorporating Rise Technologies Inc's new proprietary controller technology, which produces halftones with 64 perceived levels of gray and a 150-line halftone screen on a 300-dot-per-inch printer, should be on sale within the year. Rise is in discussions with hardware manufacturers and software developers about using its new technology, which according to a company spokesman, does not 'print regular dots'.
