	We at NCAR are looking for a color hardcopy device for our graphic
output with the following qualities:

	- At least 500 X 500 resolution

	- Speed: less than a minute for a page would be nice

	- Reliability: frequent breakdowns don't go.

	- Cost: preferably under $10K, but if you know of one for more
	  that is really good, please pass the info on anyway.

Currently we have a couple of Tektronics 4107 terminals with attached plotters.
They (the plotters) are simply unacceptable, since (1) they take 10 minutes
to make a copy of the screen, and (2) they are incredibly flakey, breaking
down 2-3 times per week.

Many thanks for any info you could provide.
