Seiko makes a color printer which takes the RGB signal from your monitor
and uses a 3-color thermal ribbon to make prints on regular paper (from
a roll).  We have a CH 5301 which makes A-size prints.  There's also one
available which makes B-sized prints.  They call them "hardcopiers".
If you call your Seiko rep, you can probably talk him into sending a
sample print - they're quite good, and we're thinking they might be good
enough to use for publishing...
