[mod.computers.laser-printers] PostScript Film Recorder

KSPROUL@RED.RUTGERS.EDU (09/03/86)

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
