Is anyone out there doing any Desktop Publishing in an MS-DOS environment?
A non-profit foundation I belong to is interested in setting up such an
environment, but they (we) would first like to find out from others what
they are using and what results they are getting.
Please E-mail me any responses, as I am not (and ..sigh.. don't have time
to be) subscribed to this newsgroup.
Thankin' you in advance...

The company I'm currently involved with produces a few small local
newspapers. They want to move to DTP. A single page of their paper
is 11" x 14". Does this present a problem for the Software or
Hardware? If not, is asking for 14" x 22" too much? We want to buy
into something that will do the job and can be upgraded in about a
year when the cash flow returns. Currently we have about 7,000
budgeted to get into a starter system. The volume of pages weekly
will be around 100 to 150, 11 x 14's. This included some drafts and
mistakes.
We are planing to purchase thru mail order.
Need: AT 286
VGA white screen ( to keep costs down)
Full Page scanner
Laser or Ploter??
DTP software ?????
I mentioned Ploter, can a DTP package use a plotter? What would a
reproduction of a photo look like? Speed isn't an issue, size of
output and quality is.
As stated above, this company really needs a Software/Hardware setup
to produce output in one of two sizes: 11" x 14" OR 14" x 22"
I've made the assumption that software will be less of a problem, I'm
researching Lasers and Plotters now and quizing the net on software.
Thank For any help or info you can give.
