We have a QMS ColorScript 100 here at our site though we have not really used it for any volume production yet. The output is very good except colours which you see on the screen do not necessarily appear as such on the output page. We have had some spotting problems when we use overhead transparency plastic. The only other thing which disturbs me with the machine is that everytime we turn the machine on we get a test page. This is supposed to be an option which you can select but we have tried to set this up but the machine defaults to the original condition everytime the power is turned off, most convenient.... The output is nice and the cost fairly low as far as I can tell. Tektronics also have a machine called Phaser something or rather. The output from this machine is similar though I think possible a little better but the machine is bigger and I don't know how much more expensive. Hope that this helps...
