Someone in one of our labs came to me with an interesting question.
He has a Seikosh VP3500 thermal printer that use to print images from
a microscope-mounted camera.  The camera feeds a Scion 1000 Frame
Grabber - equipped Mac IIx as well.  He would like to know if there is
a way to print from the Mac's screen as well.
The Seikosh is capable of 64 greys at 1280x1280 max resolution and
compared to halftones the images are quite a bit better.

Has anyone else tried anything like this?  Anyone ever seen a similar
setup?

Thanks
Brad
