Other items on the Paintjet and its software you should be aware of are:

In multi-finder only one of the active programs can print. No other program can
print until you quit the program that used the printer. 

Currently the driver contains the fonts and this causes the file in the system
folder to be about 2 meg in size.

You can not use your modem port if you use the printer via a shiva net serial.

I had problem with MS Word 3.01 BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ON ANY OTHER
MACHINE, ONLY MINE. I should also mention that since I do test & eval. my Mac
is not what you would consider a "normal" configuration.

I believe that the color matching could be better.

Enough of that.
The printer hardware is outstanding!  Everyone who has seen the output is 
impressed, including me.  The bang for the buck is great !

In this area I have seen it advertised at about $990.  
I'm impressed enough to buy one for home.


I did report the above bugs to the SD div. and have not heard any response 
although they were cooperative in resolving other questions I had.
