Summary: Looking for information on desktop publishing software and hardware


Hello,
	I am looking for information regarding desktop publishing for a
client.  They are interested in setting up an area specifically for
desktop publishing and would prefer to be in a UNIX environment as all
their office automation is currently on UNIX/XENIX machines.  They would
have 3 or more users.  Currently they are considering using Mac II's
although it has been difficult to get any information on this machine
running UNIX.  We are also interested in other workstations, etc.  I would
like to hear from anyone who is using desktop publishing on workstations
or Mac II's or even IBM-PC's.  I am also interested in systems that
network 2 or more micros or workstations.  Note that the software should
be WYSIWYG and the micro or workstation must have good resolution to show
how the output will be on the page.
	As for hardware, we are interested in good quality plotters,
high resolution laser printers (600 dpi and up), colour [alternate spelling,
not a mistake!] monitors, tablets, digitizers, etc.
	If anyone knows of any products that would be interesting to us or
has any comments on desktop publishing hardware and software that they are
using, please send me mail on the subject.
	Thanks
		Bill
