The three announced products are a Spinwriter substitute, a Laserjet Plus clone and a PostScript printer. Retail prices range from $2,195 to $4,795. All have separate toner and photconductor cartridges, 250 sheet in and out bins and projected life of 600,000 pages. The catch: they will only be selling to OEMs. The LC-890 (the one that speaks PostScript and I am interested in) has 35 resident fonts, 3MB of 'internal memory' (whatever that includes) and Appletalk, Centronics, PR-232 and RS-422 interfaces. It will be available June 1, 1987. Phil Hughes (SSC, Inc.) ...!uw-beaver!tikal!ssc!fyl
