AS L i) _§ URSULA ZEIDLER *Sales Representative Res. 877-7908 By Andy King For users with larger budgets and a desire for very high quality output a laser printer is the proba- ble choice. Laser printer prices start at less than $1,000 and rise to more than you would expect to pay for a lux- car. Laser printer technology is mov- ing forward at an astounding rate. Just a few years ago you would have had to spend about $10,000 to achieve the quality of output now eee from the least expensive laset Lasers are anes different than the printers already men- tioned. The ink jet and dot matrix print one line of information at a time while lasers print the whole page in one pass. When you compose a page on your computer there is a little bit of time when nothing seems to happen. During this time the com- puter and/or the printer lays out the entire page to be printed. Once the devices are finished their cal- culations the page is printed at a we ot four or more copies per lant printer output is often referred to as ‘better than letter quality’. The resolution and sj of a laser is proportionate to the amount you are willing to spend on the purchase of the machine and the supplies you use. Many lasers can produce single color pages by changing the toner cartridges. Some very expensive ae can produce full color vy you wish to produce full color prints there are alternatives to the very expensive color lasers. The usual ‘laser-like’ choices for desk-top color output today are thermal or dye sublimation print- er: S. The common uses for these types of printers is for ‘pre-press’ proofing (being able to produce a full color representation of the lay- out before sending it to the print house), custom “T” shirt making, low volume production of brochures and badges and medical imaging. Color thermal printers use a print head that transfers color from a large three or four color ‘waxy’ ribbon to specially-coated paper. The impressive output is accom- plished by the ability of the printer One Byte at atime to mix the available colors. Most of the color thermal print- ers on the market today offer a choice of output sizes of letter or tabloid. Many have advanced interfaces that allow use with almost any computer. Several models are available for less than $10,000. The emerging ‘Big Daddy’ in the color desk-top printer is dye sublimation technolo; The dye sub printers provide ‘stunning’ reproduction from a palette of over sixteen million col- ors. The output is referred to as ‘photo realistic’. Most people I have shown this type of print to believed they were looking at a photograph. Currently dye subli- mation pani are in the $10 - $20,000 ran; Thermal my dye sublimation printers have a shorter major com- ponent life than lasers.
