[fa.info-vlsi] color raster plots

Allan.Fisher@VLSI.CS.CMU.EDU (10/02/85)

We're interested in getting a color raster plotter to do CIF plots.  Is
anybody using something cheaper than the widebed color Versatec for
this?  So far, a raster generator and inkjet plotter from Tektronix
look good, but I'd like to avoid doing the software development.

We have one of these beasts, and it is currently being used for
3D CAD.  The color is great on it, and I am real impressed with it
as a device.

I don't know whether we will convert cifplot, but tell me if you get the
device, and/or do any VLSI work for it.
