I'm looking for reccomendations for hardcopy output from 4Ds.  I need
to produce both paper and transparencies.  I'm interested in fairly
high quality, i.e. something better than a color laser printer or a
thermal wax printer that has only a few colors and dithers the rest.
I'm most intrigued by the new thermal dye sublimation printers.  I
prefer a device with a digital input, as opposed to analog RGB, so
that it can be used as a shared resource among several machines
networked together on Ethernet (Suns & SGs).  I'm also interested in
pricing information and relative cost per copy for the various
technologies.
