Any experience out there pro or con re: Seiko ColorPoint PS color
PostScript printers?  Reviews in Mac rags suggest that it and
Tek Phaser PX are the best at image/continuous-tone graphics among
models in the $6K-8K range, and the Tek is about $1.5K more.
Another problem with the Tek is absense of black in ribbons.

Target environment is diverse--various flavors Unix, VMS, Macs, maybe
PCs--and I'd be particularly interested in hearing about interface
& driver problems.  I'm aware early Seikos had brain-dead LocalTalk
interfaces, but I'm hoping that problem has been fixed.
