From: rlgvax!geller%seismo.uucp@Brl-Tgr The most recent issue of PC WEEK (1984 Year in Review) describes a new laser printer to be manufactured by Konica, the Japanese photography company. The printer is Konica's own design and is said to be faster and more durable then several of the small laser printers now on the market that use the Cannon print engine. Prices, when announced, are expected to be in the range of $3500 to $4000 for the low-end model with the ability to add a more advanced adaptor for bit-mapped graphics. This news is significant in that it affirms many peoples notion of the direction printers and printing methods are heading towards. Having used Konica cameras and Hexanon lenses for many years I am more than eagerly awaiting the release of this new product. I am also sure that as more units are released and prices drop more and more people will begin using laser printers. rlgvax!geller David P. Geller (this information is my own.
