Sounds like the "Color PostScript Compatible interpreter" is on the PC board. Is that right? What about a *color* output device that like a LaserWriter, interprets PostScript onboard? Not an ink-jet or a color thermal transfer, but a Cannon-engine type device. Do they exist? It seems to me that there is a sizeable market out here waiting for the "right" solution. Is there anyone from Adobe, Cannon, or Apple listening that would care to comment? ^Deke Kassabian, deke@ee.rochester.edu or ur-valhalla!deke Univ of Rochester, Dept of EE, Rochester, NY 14627 (+1 716-275-3106)
