[mod.computers.masscomp] Color hardcopy info needed

ddclog@soma.UUCP (12/24/86)

I will be purchasing color hardcopy devices for my Masscomp 5500 system,
which has an Aurora graphics terminal.  I want both lower quality color
plots for working purposes -- such as thermal transfer technology, and
publication-quality photographic prints -- such as Dunn or Matrix
camera systems provide.

If anyone has experience with any such analog (or digital) color
hardcopy devices please let me know.

Seiko makes a color printer which takes the RGB signal from your monitor
and uses a 3-color thermal ribbon to make prints on regular paper (from
a roll).  We have a CH 5301 which makes A-size prints.  There's also one
available which makes B-sized prints.  They call them "hardcopiers".
If you call your Seiko rep, you can probably talk him into sending a
sample print - they're quite good, and we're thinking they might be good
enough to use for publishing...
