We've got a Linotronic L300 (DENSY) that's being driven by a RIP I (quit
laughing!) and Lino's horrible front end called the CRTerminal 300.
 
The money has finally come available to upgrade to a new RIP, and I was
wondering what other products are on the market (that can drive the
L300).
 
I'm looking for pointers to articles and personal experience. I'm
waiting on a copy of Seybold's imagesetter test. I read it when it first
came out, but I don't recall if 3rd party RIPs were driving L300s.
 
We would prefer a true PostScript RIP since we've got a large investment
in Type 1 faces.
 
BTW, are there any mailing lists related to typesetting and service
bureaus?
 
Thanks in advance.
