I hate to disagree with you, BUT...IMAGEN does OEM the Image Processor to
Kodak for their Ektaprint 1392 Printer. It now features a 68020, imPRESS,
UltraScript (tm), various other emulators, a lot of memory (I'm not sure
what the final configuration has in it) and approx. 92 ppm throughput. It
is intended for demand publishing systems but I've been known to run C
listings and manual pages out on it when I don't feel like waiting around :-).
We have been shipping systems to Kodak since late 1986 so the product has
been available for some time but Kodak usually sells it with their Ektaprint
Publishing System. Contact Kodak for more information.
