They can probably provide a better solution. Up until recently, they've only offered the Canon LBP-10 as a print engine, with excellent software. It's 240dpi, wet process, 10 pages/minute. They've recently put their controller on the Delphax (60 pages/minute, same resolution) and a new Canon printer that's twice the resolution (but half the speed). The Imagen software is more flexible and fully developed than any other I've seen. They're getting a very nice font library together (right now they offer the Metafont library, but they say they're getting something much nicer very soon). And it seems like the right sort of print engine for you may be available. [We have 2 Imagen printers here in Computer Science. One prints about 1000 pages/day; the other a somewhat lower volume. Maintenance is every 100,000 pages or so (drum replacement). Neither has ever broken; we've been amazed.] -John O'Donnell Yale Computer Science Department ...decvax!yale-comix!odonnell ODonnell@Yale
