Hi,
since this is definitively my favorite newsgroup and IDL is such
a colorful language, I thought, I might sidetrack a little and ask
you folks about your experiences with color transparencies. Which
printers can you recommend for workgroup use? We are currently
equipped with a QMS Magicolor Laser printer which is reasonably
fast and reliable and produces good paper output. However,
transparencies
come out too opaque, so that everything appears grey(ish) on the
projector. I've been told that this is a general problem of color
laser printers which unfortunately seem to be the new industry
standard. The second printer we use is a QMS 100 Model 10 (thermo
transfer) which produces very nice viewgraphs if it decides to do
so. It's awfully slow and needs more operator assistance than anyone
could ask for.
I already received a recommendation for a Tektronix Phaser 560
but unfortunately, these aren't sold anymore.
Thanks for your feedback (you may also tell me which printers
we should definitively not consider), please don't mention printers
with a pricetag above $3000.
Martin
