Two typesetters, the Alphatype CRS and the Compugraphic 8600, generate 5000 lpi. It's possible to generate 1000+ newspaper lines/minute at 1000lpi using a text window of 1 inch for $70,000. (The photographic paper moves past the window.) Somone with better contacts in the industry may be able to provide more info, but I'd say "book quality" is a long way off for workstations... -Rich$alz -------
