Hey,
has anyone out there solved the unsolvable color printer problem ? We have a
fat, kilobuck, quality-deteriorating tektronix and would like to replace it.
Hitachi says they make us happy with a video-digitizing (they have no SGI 
driver !!) 5000 color printer charging ONLY 32500,- US-$ (list price). Hahaha.
I would prefer a Mercedes-Benz.
 Nevertheless, has anyone seen a color laser (like the new canon) in SGI action
or seen a thermo-transfer-wax-unit that produced quality images over the long
term ?

Cheers ! rick@vee.lrz-muenchen.de
