Date: Wed 9 May 84 14:28:23-PDT From: Stuart Reges <uw-beaver!REGES@SU-SCORE.ARPA> Subject: ImageWriter for dissertations at Stanford? To: info-mac@SU-SCORE.ARPA Office: Margaret Jacks 210, 497-9798 I just came from an informational meeting put on by the Stanford people who coordinate the Mac purchasing/support at Stanford. They announced that they have been talking to the Graduate Program Office about ImageWriter output, asking whether it would be acceptable for dissertations. The response was a definitive maybe. The people at GPO did not say no, but they were not terribly pleased with the output. It sounds like they will accept it if everything else is perfect. The people at GPO said they liked New York and Geneva 9 point fonts best. They also liked New York 12 point font, but not as much. They haven't seen 10 point output, though. It was also reported that a new ribbon does not produce best results (characters look filled in). They suggest a medium-worn ribbon (after, say, 100 pages of output). -------
