It's not a "true" postscript printer, but uses Ultrascript. The printing mechanisms are Kodak but the RIP is Imagen's (though I'm not sure if it was made especially for Kodak). It also does a number of other emulations. At first glance the printer looks pretty impressive. It supports duplex printing and will even staple your output for you. The RIP has 5 680xxs (I am not sure which one), but I bet that each one is needed to keep up with the rated 92ppm. I haven't had a second glance yet. -Scott Holt ---------- Obligitory Disclaimer: The statements made in this article are my impressions and opinions.
