Canon, Ricoh lasers set for full color
Article Abstract:
Color laser printers are still prohibitively expensive to produce, so Canon and Ricoh both plan to introduce laser copiers later in 1987. Both products will use color laser technology, together with a color scanner, to generate four-color copies with 400 dot-per-inch resolution in each color. Canon's Laser Color Copier will produce 6 copies per minute, while Ricoh's CIP-LA will produce 3.5 copies per minute. A Ricoh executive, commenting on the outlook for color printers, says that until laser printers that produce color sell for under $15,000, printers will be limited to specific applications such as medical technology and cartography.

Little big screen
Article Abstract:
Stepping Out ($95) is a new screen-utility program from Berkeley System Design. It is supposed to let you zoom in on part of a screen or enlarge part of a screen's image for purposes involving page makeup and graphics; in fact, the programs uses are limited. Magnifying the image up to 16 times its normal size is a degree of control that is called 'unsatisfactory' for fine typography or high-quality page design. Moreover, the way that the program scrolls to portions of an image beyond a screen's view when the cursor is moved to the edge of an application's window is visually disturbing.
