I want to purchase a !GOOD! film recorder for making 35 mm slides that is useable from the Macintosh by way of PostScript!!!. Lasergraphics (17671 Cowan Ave, Irvine CA 92714) is currently working on such a beast, HOWEVER, there unit is not good enough for want I need, it is only 2000 lines resoulution... What I really want is 4000 lines such as is available from MATRIX with their PCR and QCR. I spent this morning at MATRIX talking with the Director of Marketing, John Patberg and explained what I needed and why, (I wont go into the details of why here, besides that is not important.) What he wants to know is, if they (MATRIX) invest the $100,000 it cost to license PostScript from Adobe, will they sell enough units to make it worth their while... If you are interested in getting a HIGH quality film recorder such as this, John Patberg of MATRIX would like to here from you. His address etc is: John Patberg Director of Marketing Matrix Instruments Inc 1 Ramland Road Orangeburg, NY 10962 (914) 365-0190 Write him a letter, or better yet, call him, mention my name if you want, and tell him that you would be interested in buying a high resolution film recorder (these units are in the $15-$25,000 price range). If he gets enough responce they will probably go ahead and make the unit, if not,, well.... The usuall disclaimer, I have nothing to do with the above mentioned companies. I am just interested in getting the device I described... I would also be interested in hearing from anyone that is interested in this type of application, either by phone, or E-Mail Keith Sproul KSproul@Rutgers.arpa (201) 563-5389 7am-3:30pm est -------
