Probably the best deal going for PostScript printers equipped with a SCSI port (for the aforementioned hard disk) is the GCC BLPII. The street price for one in Canada is about $3k. Compared to the 5 digits you'll pay for an NTX II, it's a good deal. Depends on your needs really. The whole point here is that there are more alternatives than just the IINTX. A SCSI port on your printer can save you a LOT of hassles and time, but shop for the best deal. There are a number of printers on the market that can address your needs. ======================================================================== Adam Smith Genius - Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy The Chameleon Papers Vancouver, BC CANADA "I'd give my eyeteeth to have a Macintosh--unfortunately, due to Apple's pricing policies, that's not enough" ======================================================================== Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
