Here are the (to me, surprising) results of TIMING TESTS (performed by me) comparing the Versatec to the LaserWriter. As lineprinters: device sec/page page/min LaserWriter 12 5 Versatec 9.2 6.5 As phototypesetters: LaserWriter 12 5 Versatec 18.9 3.2 None of these numbers include troff time; these are print times from prepared files. Note that the Versatec is 58% slower than the LaserWriter as a phototypesetter (I had thought it was faster!), and only 23% faster as a lineprinter. -Peter S. Shenkin Columbia Univ. Biol.
