  The output is indeed the best paper hardcopy output I have seen, but
  it is spendy. The list price is $ 24,895 with 12MB of memory and the
  cost per page is $ 3.85 ( from Feb 1991 Mac World ). The February 
  issue of Mac World compares several hard copy devices and technologies,
  including Ink-Jet, Thermal Wax Transfer and Dye Sublimation ( XL 7700 ).
