What Ho,
    apologies in advance if these questions have
already been flogged to death in this forum.

I am interested in peoples' evaluations of PostScript laser
printers with resolutions higher than the standard
LaserWriter 300 dpi.

Firstly, there's an outfit calling themselves LaserSmiths
in Santa Clara.  They claim a 415 dpi printer for $4,000.
Anybody seen one, touched one, printed anything on one,
know it it's `real' PostScript, or have anything at all to
say about this?

Secondly, Varityper were pushing a 600 dpi laser printer
a while back.  Anybody have any information on this?  They
weren't quoting any prices, which means to me that they're
expensive.  Anybody out there have access to a VT600?  Are
there any local (Northern California) service bureaus that
have these machines?

Thanks in Advance,
	............... Henry
