We are using 2 L500 machines and 2 rip 3's at the moment. Because
we need more capacity, it is necessary to buy some new equipment.
I am looking for a way to connect an extra without buying another
recorder. Are there any products that multiplex rips? I can
imagine that somebody accepts the output from a rip, buffers it
on a disk, and selects the first available typesetter.

BTW I am not hooked on Linotype rips, I could also live with
another brand, as long as it contains Adobe PS.

Thanx
