The most recent issue of PC WEEK (1984 Year in Review) describes a new
laser printer to be manufactured by Konica, the Japanese photography
company. The printer is Konica's own design and is said to be faster
and more durable then several of the small laser printers now on the
market that use the Cannon print engine. Prices, when announced, are
expected to be in the range of $3500 to $4000 for the low-end model
with the ability to add a more advanced adaptor for bit-mapped
graphics. This news is significant in that it affirms many peoples
notion of the direction printers and printing methods are heading
towards. Having used Konica cameras and Hexanon lenses for many years
I am more than eagerly awaiting the release of this new product. I am
also sure that as more units are released and prices drop more and
more people will begin using laser printers.
