I thought that this information might be of interest to the
Laser-Lovers list.

Rick,
Yes, we showed prototypes of three new printing systems at Comdex,
but they are not announced products yet.
Imagen 5*480 will be a high-resolution printer using the Canon 5/480 laser
printer (nominally 5 pages/minute, 480 dot/inch resolution in both
dimensions).
Imagen 60*240 will be a high-speed printer using the Delphax ion deposition
engine (60 pages/minute, 240 dots/inch).
Imagen 8*300 will use an 8 pages/minute, 300 dot/inch Canon laser engine
that is based on the same technology as Canon's "personal copiers" --
it uses a removable drum/toner cassette for easy serviceability.
All these devices are expected to talk our standard graphical languages
(Impress, line printer, daisy printer, Tektronix 4014) and so can be run with
TROFF, DI-TROFF, TeX, Scribe, ISSCO DISPLA, etc. Pricing information will
likely be available in the first quarter of '84, with initial deliveries
some time in the second quarter.
