[comp.sys.mac] 35mm slide output devices?

kautz@allegra.UUCP (Henry Kautz) (09/02/87)

Has anyone heard of devices for the Mac II that can be used to produce
color 35mm  slides, either rumored or actually available?  Any company
names/phone numbers?  Please *mail* me info directly.  Thanks.

Yes.  This device isn't specifically for the Mac II, and I don't even
know if it is compatible.  The device is the ImageMaker from
Presentation Technologies.  Their phone number is 1-800-255-4574.

We are looking into one.  It should be quite a neat gadget if it does
everything they say it does.

Careful about this thing.  It is essentially a plotter-type device,
which plots with a laser beam on film.  If your application tries
to erase then it won't produce the expected output.  I don't know
if it handles bitmaps.  I do know that it will NOT work with my
application (ChemDraw) until they support the complete QuickDraw
verb set, including Erase.
